Freezer Control (some models)

Refrigerator Control 

(some models)

 ImPORTaNT

Turning the refrigerator temperature control to “0” turns off 
the compressor and prevents the refrigerator from cooling, 
but does not disconnect the power to the light bulb and other 
electrical components. To turn off power to your refrigerator, 
you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

COOl DOWN PeRIOD

To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate 
with the doors closed for at least 8 to 12 hours before loading it 
with food.

RefRIgeRaTOR & fReezeR CONTROlS

• 

adjust temperature gradually: move the knob in small   

 

increments, allowing the temperature to stabilize.

• 

For colder temperatures, turn the knob towards 

Colder

.

• 

For warmer temperatures, turn the knob towards 

Cold

.

Turning the refrigerator control will change temperatures in both 
compartments. For example, if the refrigerator control is turned 
to a colder setting, the freezer control may have to be adjusted 
to a warmer setting. Turning the freezer control will change only 
the freezer temperature.
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator 
and freezer compartments. For good circulation, do not block 
cold air vents with food items.

note

When making changes to the temperature controls, wait 24 
hours for the temperature to stabilize before making additional 
changes.
