USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR ENSURING PROPER AIR CIRCULATION In order to ensure proper temperatures, air must flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration below, air enters at top of freezer and circulates down. From bottom of freezer, air is forced up to top of refrigerator. Air enters refrigerator through top vent, then circulates and exists at bottom, where it returns to freezer. MULTI-FLOW Multi-Flow means powerful and effective cooling operation. This is especially noticeable when new food is placed in the refrigerator compartment. If water or foreign substances enter the cool air vent while cleaning, efficiency will be lowered. In addition, if gasket is damaged, efficiency may be lowered because of escaping cool air. Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature as desired. Refrigerator control: position 1 to 7, represent the following temperature range (32 °F to 47 °F or 0 °C to 8 °C) The higher the number setting, the colder the refrigerator compartment will become. REFRIGERATOR TEMP ADJUST WARMER 4 IS RECOMMENDED Freezer control: position 1 to 7 (-6 °F to 8 °F or -21 °C to -13 °C) When the setting is at a higher number, the freezer compartment becomes colder. Ice Plus Press the Ice Plus key and the LED will turn on. This function will remain activated for 24 hours and intensify the cooling speed of freezer and increase the amount of ice. FREEZER TEMP WARMER 4 IS RECOMMENDED COLDER ADJUST ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS Do not block any of cool air vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be interrupted and temperature and moisture problems may occur. IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the Food Storage Guide section for details.) DOOR ALARM With this feature you´ll listen a alarm when the freezer or refrigerator door is not closed within 1 minute after it is opened. These tones repeat every 30 seconds. The alarm is cancelled when the freezer or the refrigerator is closed correctly. SETTING THE CONTROLS Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator compartments. Initially set the REFRIGERATOR CONTROL and the FREEZER CONTROL at position number "4". Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm. The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance (refrigerator and freezer sections.) The higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the Freezer compartment to make it colder. If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, start by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait 24 hours after the refrigerator adjustment to check the freezer temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the freezer control as well. Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. 16
