USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION
In order to obtain stable temperature, the air must flow
between the freezer and refrigerator sections. As shown
in the illustration below, the cold air enters through
the bottom part and circulates upward. This air returns
below the freezer floor and the rest of the air enters the
refrigerator section through the top vent.
Do not
block any of these vents with packages of food.
This can interrupt the flow of air and cause temperature
and moisture problems.
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, make sure you wrap or cover foods tightly (See
the
“Food Storage Guide”
section for details).
NOTE:
If you close the fresh food
compartment door applying
more force than necessary,
freezer door may get open and
close again, due internal air flow
of refrigerator.
ADJUSTING THE CONTROLS
• Your refrigerator has two controls that allow you to
regulate the temperature the freezer and refrigerator
compartments.
•
Refrigerator Control
Initially set the Refrigerator Control on the middle
setting (number 3). To do so, press the TEMPERATURE
ADJUST button until it reaches the middle position
(the third LED turns ON). Leave the refrigerator on this
setting for 24 hours to reach the correct temperature.
After 24 hours, adjust the compartment temperature
as you desire. ALWAYS wait 24 hours before you adjust
the temperature. If you want to set the refrigerator
compartment temperature to a warmer temperature
than the current, continue pressing the TEMPERATURE
ADJUST button until it reaches the desired temperature.
•
Freezer Control
The freezer control should come from factory on the
middle setting (number 2). Wait 24 hours before
adjusting the freezer compartment temperature. Roll
the knob to set the freezer temperature as you desire.
ALWAYS wait 24 hours after any adjustment to reach the
desired temperature.
NOTE:
Setting at higher number of the Freezer
compartment, the temperature of freezer compartment
becomes colder.
