How To Test Temperatures
Use the milk test for the fresh food compartment. Place a container of milk on the top shelf and check it a
day later. If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the temperature controls.
Use the ice cream test for the freezer compartment. Place a container of ice cream in the center of the
freezer and check it after a day. If it’s too hard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls.
After changing the controls, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.
The temperature controls on your refrigerator have letters
and numbers. Initially set the fresh food control at
5 and
the freezer control at 5 or C.
If you want colder or warmer temperatures, adjust the
fresh food temperature first. When satisfied with that
setting, adjust the freezer temperature.
The controls will look like one of the following.
