The refrigerator smells like new plastic. How do I make it go away?
It is common for new appliances to have a slight plastic smell. Ensure that you have removed all packing
material from the fridge. Clean the inside of the cabinet by following the cleaning instructions included in
the owner’s manual. Once completed, place an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator to absorb any
remaining odour.
How do I set the temperature?
This varies based on model:
• If your thermostat dial has a graduated blue line, the thinner part of the line indicates warmer
temperatures and the thicker part of the line indicates colder temperatures
• If your thermostat dial has dots, the smaller dots indicate warmer temperatures and the larger dots
indicate colder temperatures
• If your thermostat dial has numbers, the smaller numbers indicate warmer temperatures and the larger
