NOTE

just the control to

24 hours, adjust the controls as needed.

Adjusting the refrigerator temperature

and prevents the refrigerator from cool-
ing, 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

refrigerator to operate with the doors
closed for at least 8 hours before loading

Temperature Adjustment
Adjust the temperature gradually: adjust
the knob in small increments, allowing the
temperature to stabilize.
• For colder temperatures, adjust the
control toward
Coldest
.
• For warmer temperatures, adjust the
control toward
Cold
.
Adjusting the refrigerator control
will change temperatures in both
compartments. The auxiliary freezer
control can be left at the factory preset
(*

) or adjusted as desired;
it has no effect on electrical power to the
refrigerator.
To maintain temperature, a fan circulates
air in the refrigerator and freezer
compartments. For good circulation, do
not block cold air vents with food items.
