Aboutthe controlsontherefrigerator, w Hot.oi,t.com

Thecontrols on your refrigerator will look like one of thefollowing:

ControlSettings

Initially, set the control(s) at 5(some models have only one control). Allow 24 hours for the

temperature to stabilize.

Several adjustments may be required. Adjust the control(s) one increment at a time and

aflow 12hours after each adjustment for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you

have set.

Setting the refrigerator control to 0stops cooling in both the freezer and refrigerator

compartments, but does not shut off electrical power to the refrigerator. The freezer

control (on some models) has no effect on electrical power to the refrigerator.

Controlsettings will vary based on personal preferences, usage and operating conditions,

and may require more than one adjustment. Factors that affect temperature include the

amount of food in the refrigerator or freezer, the frequency of door opening and the

temperature of food when it is placed in the refrigerator.
