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. 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 at 37°F (3°C) and the FREEZER CONTROL at 0°F (-18°C). Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature as desired. • Refrigerator control: 32°F/46°F (0°C to 8°C) The lower the number setting, the colder the refrigerator compartment will become. REFRIGERATOR TEMP EXPRESS FREEZING COLDER WARMER 37 °F IS RECOMMENDED • Freezer control: -6°F/9°F (-21°C to -13°C) When the setting is at a lower number, the freezer compartment becomes colder. But the refrigerator compartment becomes warmer because less cold air flows into the refrigerator. • Express Freezing: Press the Express Freezing 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. EXPRESS FREEZING FREEZER TEMP 0 °F IS RECOMMENDED COLDER WARMER NOTE: If you want to change °F to °C, press and hold COLDER key of freezer and COLDER key of refrigerator over 3 sec at the same time. and if you want to change °C to °F, hold them for 3 sec again. 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.) 15
