OPERATING YOUR APPLIANCE  Temperature Control Panels Refrigerator Temperature Control Freezer Control 1 is COLD 3 is NORMAL 5 is COLDEST MIN is COLD Recommended is NORMAL MAX is COLDEST  Setting the Temperature Control • Your refrigerator has one control for regulating the temperature. The temperature control is located on the top of the refrigerator compartment. As well as a control knob in the freezer to balance the cold air distribution between the two compartments. • The temperature control knob in the refrigerator compartment will control the actual cooling cycle whereas the control knob in the freezer compartment will adjust the distribution of the cold air between the freezer and the refrigerator compartments. • The first time you turn the unit on, adjust the temperature control knob to "MAX" in the freezer compartment and "5" in the refrigerator compartment and run for at least 4 hours before placing foods inside. This will ensure the freezer cabinet is thoroughly chilled and the refrigerator compartment will be stabilized before food is placed. Then return selector to "Recommended" position in the freezer compartment and "3" in the refrigerator compartment. • Adjust the temperature control to the setting that best suits your needs. The setting of "3" in the refrigerator compartment and "Recommended" in the freezer compartment will distribute the cold air equally between both compartments which should be appropriate for home or office refrigerator use. • If you at any time want to distribute a larger amount of cold air to the freezer for example is a large amount of food has been added to the freezer, simply move the controller to the "MAX" position until the desired temperature has been attained then return the controller to the "Recommended" position. • If you at any time want to distribute a larger amount of cold air to the refrigerator section, for example to quickly cook down if a large amount of fresh food has been added, simply move the controller in the freezer to the "MIN" position until the desired temperature has been attained and then return the controller to the "Recommended" position. NOTE: • IF THE UNIT IS UNPLUGGED, HAS LOST POWER, OR IS TURNED OFF, YOU MUST WAIT 3 TO 5 MINUTES BEFORE RESTARTING THE UNIT. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO RESTART BEFORE THIS TIME DELAY, THE REFRIGERATOR-FREEZER WILL NOT START. NOTE: WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THE INSTALLATION OF THE REFRIGERATOR WHERE THE TEMPERATURE WILL DROP BELOW 50ºF (13ºC) OR RISE ABOVE 110ºF (43ºC). THE COMPRESSOR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN PROPER TEMPERATURES INSIDE THE REFRIGERATOR. 9
