2.
Open both doors again to make sure they close as easily as
you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by
turning both leveling legs to the left; it may take several more
turns.
NOTE:
To keep the refrigerator level, you should turn both
leveling legs the same amount.
3.
Using a level, be sure that the refrigerator is still level side to
side. Readjust if necessary.
Door Aligning
If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it
using the following instructions:
1.
Depending on your model, remove the Top Hinge cover.
2.
Loosen the top hinge screws using a
⁵⁄₁₆
" socket or wrench.
3.
Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer between
the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.
4.
Replace the Top Hinge cover, if removed in Step 1.
REFRIGERATOR USE
Using the Controls
Your refrigerator has two controls that affect the temperature. The
Temperature control is located at the top front of the refrigerator
compartment and the Airflow control is located on the back wall
of the freezer compartment.
IMPORTANT:
■
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.
■
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.
■
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or
freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not
blocked before adjusting the controls.
Temperature Control
For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the
control is still preset as shown.
Recommended Setting
Cooling Off/On
■
To turn Cooling Off, press and hold the Temperature Setting
button for 4 seconds, until all lights turn ON for 1 second. To
turn cooling back on, press and hold the Temperature Setting
button again for 4 seconds.
NOTE:
Neither compartment will cool when the control is set
to OFF.
Adjusting the Temperature Control
If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or
freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart below as
a guide.
NOTE:
Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust the
control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between
adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
■
Press the Temperature Setting button to toggle among the
three LED lights which indicate the temperature setting.
Reading from left to right, the LED in the first position is the
least cold. The LEDs indicate increasingly colder settings as
you continue to the right.
Airflow Control
The Airflow control regulates the amount of air flowing between
the freezer and the refrigerator compartments.
When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time, turn the Airflow
control to the Recommended setting.
Adjusting the Airflow Control
If you want to temporarily increase the cold airflow to a specific
compartment, adjust the control.
■
Max - Increase airflow to the freezer
■
Min - Increase airflow to the refrigerator
IMPORTANT:
Once the performance is achieved, return the
Airflow control to the Recommended setting to keep the
refrigerator operating at optimum efficiency.
