USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
ENSURING PROPER AIR
CIRCULATION
In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must
flow between the refrigerator and freezer
sections. As shown in the illustration below, air
enters at top of freezer and circulates down.
From bottom of freezer, air is forced up to top of
refrigerator. Air enters refrigerator through top
vent, then circulates and exists at bottom, where
it returns to freezer.
MULTI-FLOW
• Multi-Flow means powerful and effective cooling
operation. This is especially noticeable when
new food is placed in the refrigerator
compartment.
• If water or foreign substances enter the cool air
vent while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In
addition, if gasket is damaged, efficiency may
be lowered because of escaping cool air.
Do not block any of cool air vents
with food
packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be
interrupted and temperature and moisture
problems may occur.
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 drying out of food, wrap
or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage
Guide section for details.)
SETTING THE CONTROLS
• Your refrigerator has two controls that let you
regulate the temperature in the freezer and
refrigerator compartments.
• Initially set the FRIDGE CONTROL at
3°C and the FREEZER CONTROL at –18°C.
Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to
stabilize. Then adjust the compartment
temperature as desired.
•
Freezer control: –21°C to –13°C
When the setting is at a lower number, the
freezer compartment becomes colder. But the
refrigerator compartment becomes warmer
because less cold air flows into the refrigerator.
•
Express Freeze:
Press the Express Freeze key and the
LED will turn on. This function will remain
activated for 24 hours and intensify the cooling
speed of freezer and increase the amount of
ice.
CAUTION
19
•
Fridge control: 1°C to 8°C
The lower the number setting, the colder the
refrigerator compartment will become.
Display Mode (For Store Use Only)
The Display Mode disables all cooling in
the refrigerator and freezer sections to
conserve energy while on display in a retail
store. When activated, OFF will display on
the control panel.
To deactivate:
Open the Right hand Refrigerator door, then
while holding down the Fridge button continuously,
touch the Express Freeze button 3 times.
The control panel will been and the
temperature settings will change to confirm
that the Display Mode is deactivated. Use
the same procedure to activate the Display
Mode.
