The temperature controls are preset in the factory at

for both the
refrigerator and freezer compartments. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to
stabilize to the preset recommended settings.
Several adjustments may be required. Adjust the controls one increment at a
time, and allow 24 hours after each adjustment for the refrigerator to reach
the setting you have selected.
Setting either or both controls to

refrigerator compartments, but does not shut off electrical power to the
refrigerator.
Control settings will vary based on personal preferences, usage and
operating conditions and may require more than one adjustment.

The refrigerator is shipped with protective film covering the
temperature controls. If this film was not removed during installation,
remove it now.
About TurboCool

(on some models)
.
How it Works
TurboCool
rapidly cools the refrigerator
compartment in order to more quickly
cool foods. Use
TurboCool
when adding a
large amount of food to the refrigerator
compartment, putting away foods after they
have been sitting out at room temperature
or when putting away warm leftovers. It can
also be used if the refrigerator has been
without power for an extended period.
Once activated, the compressor will turn on
immediately and the fans will cycle on and
off at high speed as needed for eight hours.
The compressor will continue to run until
the refrigerator compartment cools to
approximately 34°F (1°C), then it will cycle
on and off to maintain this setting. After 8
hours, or if
TurboCool
is pressed again, the
refrigerator compartment will return to
the original setting.
