To obtain the best possible results from your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it

properly. This section tells you how to set the controls, remove and adjust some of the

features in your refrigerator,

and how

to save energy.

Setting the controls

Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are in

the refrigerator. When you plug in the refrigerator

Refrigerator Control adjustments range from

1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest).

Set

the

Freezer Control to B.

Give the refrigerator time to cool down com-

pletely before adding food. This may take

several hours.

The settings indicated above 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. If you need to adjust these

settings, see “Changing the control settings”

on page 9.

moisture build-up on the outside of your

refrigerator cabinet. This control does not

have to be set or adjusted.
