Using the Controls IMPORTANT: Adjusting the Temperature ■ Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the following chart as a guide. NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster. ■ Press either the FREEZER TEMP or FRIDGE TEMP button to select the desired temperature setting from (1 box [least cold] to 5 boxes [coldest]). ■ The recommended setting should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm. NOTE: Areas such as a garage or porch, may experience warmer or colder temperatures and higher humidity than inside the home. You may need to adjust the temperature away from the recommended set points to accommodate for these conditions. ■ If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, before adjusting the controls, first check the air vents located in the refrigerator and freezer compartments to be sure they are not blocked by food items.
