The refrigerator uses more energy when Humidity Control is on. ■ Press the control to ON when the environment is warm and more humid, or if you notice moisture on the door hinge seal. ■ Press the control to OFF to save energy when the environment is less humid. Using the Controls Your model may have either Electronic, Dial or Digital Controls. IMPORTANT: ■ Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food.

The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
