To turn off power to your refrigerator, you must unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Temperature Adjustment Adjust the temperature gradually: adjust the knob in small increments, allowing the temperature to stabilize. • For colder temperatures, adjust the control toward Coldest. • For warmer temperatures, adjust the control toward Cold. Adjusting the refrigerator control will change temperatures in both compartments. The freezer control can be left at the factory preset (*Recommended) or adjusted as desired.
