REFRIGERATOR USE
Using the Controls
The temperature controls are located at the top front of the
refrigerator or freezer compartments.
IMPORTANT:
■
When the power is on, the temperature display shows the
actual temperature of the compartment.
■
Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before
adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has
cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature
controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the
compartments any faster.
■
The recommended settings should be correct for normal
household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when
milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
■
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or
freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked
before adjusting the controls.
