REFRIGERATOR USE Using the Controls The temperature controls are located at the top front of the refrigerator or freezer compartments. Temperature Controls For your convenience, the temperature controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the controls are still set to the recommended setting as shown. Style 1 - Electronic Recommended Setting "3 Snowflakes" IMPORTANT: ■ The recommended setting should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm. ■ Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster. ■ If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls. Adjusting Controls If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Style 1 - Press the TEMP button to display the desired number of snowflakes from (1 least cold to 4 coldest). Style 2 - Move the dial to the desired number of snowflakes from (1 least cold to 5 coldest). NOTE: Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust either control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize.
