Using the Controls
IMPORTANT:
■
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 setting 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.
NOTE: Areas such as a garage or porch, may experience
warmer or colder temperatures and higher humidity than
inside the home. You may need to adjust the temperature
away from the recommended set points to accommodate for
these conditions.
■
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or
freezer, before adjusting the controls, first check the air vents
located in the refrigerator and freezer compartments to be
sure they are not blocked by food items.

factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the
control is still set to the recommended setting as shown.
