IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any 
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must 
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent 
odor transfer from food, wrap or cover foods tightly.

Using the Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the 
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the 
controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control and the Freezer 
Control should both be at the “mid-settings” as shown in the 
illustrations below.

IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled 
completely, your food may spoil. Turning the Refrigerator and 
Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting 
will not cool the compartments any faster.

NOTE: 

Your refrigerator will not cool when the Refrigerator 
Control is set to “0” (OFF).

The Automatic Exterior Moisture control continuously 
guards against moisture buildup on the outside of your 
refrigerator cabinet. This control does not have to be set 
or adjusted.

Setting the dial controls (on some models):

The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment 
temperature, and the Freezer Control adjusts the freezer 
compartment temperature. Settings to the left of the mid-setting 
make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-
setting make the temperature colder. 

Style 1

Style 2

Setting the slide controls (on some models):

The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator compartment 
temperature, and the Freezer Control adjusts the freezer 
compartment temperature. Settings to the left of the mid-setting 
make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-
setting make the temperature colder.

Style 2

Adjusting Control Settings

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding 
food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the 
refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should 
be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls 
are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and 
when ice cream is firm. 

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, 
use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least 
24 hours between adjustments.
