setting
make
the temperature
less
cold. Settings
to the right
of the Recommended

make
the temperature
colder.
Wait
24 hours before
you put food
into your
refrigerator.

may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the Temperature
Control to a higher
(colder) setting will not cool the compartments
any faster.

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.
