Viewing and Adjusting Temperature Set Points For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still set to the recommended set points. The factoryrecommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the refrigerator and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer. IMPORTANT: ■■ Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a colder-thanrecommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster. ■■ If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls. ■■ The recommended settings should be correct for normal household 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, basement, or porch may have higher humidity or extreme temperatures. You may need to adjust the temperature away from the recommended settings to accommodate for these conditions. ■■ Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the temperatures before other adjustments are made.
