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, cool air enters through the bottom
of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then
flows through the freezer section vents and recirculates
under the freezer floor. The rest of the air enters the
refrigerator section through the top vent.
MULTI FLOW
The air flow pattern is more evident in an empty cabinet.
If water or foreign substances block 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 these 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 REFRIGERATOR CONTROL at 37°F
(3°C) and the FREEZER CONTROL at 0°F ( -18°C).
Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to
stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature
as desired.
Premium Model
Refrigerator control: 32°F to 46°F (0°C to 8°C)
The lower the setting, the colder the refrigerator
compartment will become.
Freezer control: - 6°F to 9°F (- 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.
NOTE: To change °F/°C press and HOLD COLDER key
c o f freezer and COLDER key of refrigerator over 1 sec. at
the same time.
