USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
SETTING THE CONTROLS
The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the
entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections). The
colder the setting, the longer the compressor will run to
keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts
the cold air
fl
ow from the freezer to the refrigerator.
Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps
more cold air in the freezer compartment to make it
colder.
It’s recommended to maintain the initial (middle)
temperature settings by pressing the Refrigerator Temp
button and Freezer Temp button.
NOTE:
When changing control settings, wait 24 hours
before making additional adjustments. The more lit bars,
the colder the refrigerator and freezer will be. See Figure 1.
The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as
cold as you would like and when ice cream is
fi
rm. If the
temperature in either compartment is too cold or too warm,
change the setting one increment at a time. Wait 24 hours
for the change to stabilize before adjusting again.
AIRFLOW
Cold air circulates from the freezer to the fresh food
section and back again through air vents in the wall
dividing the two sections. Be sure not to block vents while
packing your refrigerator. Doing so will restrict air
fl
ow
and may cause the refrigerator temperature to become
too warm or cause interior moisture buildup. (See air
fl
ow
diagram below.)
Temperature
IMPORTANT:
Because air circulates between both sections, any odors
formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors.
To prevent odor transfer and dried out food, wrap or
cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide section
for details.)
NOTE
: If you close the refrigerator door, you may see the
freezer door open and close again due to pressure from
internal air
fl
ow.
PRIOR TO USE
1. Clean your refrigerator thoroughly and wipe o
ff
dust
accumulated during shipping.
2. Install accessories such as ice cube bin, drawers,
shelves, etc., in their proper places. They are packed
together to prevent possible damage during shipment.
3. Let your refrigerator run for at least 2 or 3 hours
before putting food in it. Check the
fl
ow of cold air
in the freezer compartment to ensure proper cooling.
Your refrigerator is now ready for use.
