Using the Controls

Temperature Control
When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time, set the
Temperature Control to Recommended Setting, as shown.
IMPORTANT:
Turning the Temperature Control to OFF stops cooling in the
refrigerator and freezer compartments, but it does not
disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.
The Temperature Control regulates the temperature in both
the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Settings to the
left of the Recommended setting make the temperature less
cold. Settings to the right of the Recommended setting make
the temperature colder.
Wait 24 hours before you put food into your refrigerator. If
you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely,
your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the Temperature Control to a higher
(colder) setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
The recommended setting should be correct for normal
household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or
juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator
or freezer, before adjusting the controls, first make sure the
air vents are not blocked.
Adjust the Temperature Control
NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then
recheck the temperatures.

use. Sort and keep berries in original container in crisper, or
store in a loosely closed paper bag on a refrigerator shelf.

container and store in crisper.
HIGH (closed) keeps moist air in the crisper for best storage of
fresh, leafy vegetables.

tear off bruised and discolored areas. Place in plastic bag
or plastic container and store in crisper.
