Warm Cabinet Surfaces
At times, the front of the refrigerator cabinet may be
warm to the touch. This is a normal occurrence that
helps prevent moisture from condensing on the
cabinet. This condition will be more noticeable when
you first start the refrigerator, during hot weather and
after excessive or lengthy door openings.
Adjusting the Controls
• 24 hours after adding food, you may decide that one
or both compartments should be colder or warmer. If
so, adjust the control(s) as indicated in the
Temperature Control Guide
table below. See page 20
for instructions on checking compartment
temperature.
• Except when starting the refrigerator,
do not
change
either control more than one number at a time.
• Allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize.
