Using the Controls

Your model may have either Electronic or Digital Controls.
IMPORTANT:
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 Controls to a
higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the
compartments any faster.
The recommended settings 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.
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.

Electronic 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.

notice moisture on the door hinge seal. 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
