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-setting” (3) indicated in the
previous section should be correct for normal household
refrigerator usage. The control is set correctly when milk or
juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
The Temperature Control functions as the thermostat for
the entire product (refrigerator and freezer sections). The
higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will
run to keep the temperature colder.
Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide.
Always remember to wait at least 24 hours between
adjustments.
Food Storage Guide
Storing Fresh Food
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and
moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This
prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator. For dated products, check code date to
