USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR SETTING THE CONTROLS (Models with water dispenser) Your refrigerator has a control pad on the dispenser that lets 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 ( -18C). Leave it at this setting for 24 hours (one day) to stabilize. Then adjust the compartment temperature as desired. EXPRESS FRZ ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS 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.

Freezer Temp Control: -6°F/8°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.
