USING YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit
air to flow between the two sections. Cold air enters the
bottom of the freezer section and moves up. It then enters
the refrigerator section through the top vent. Air then
returns to the freezer as shown.
Do not block any of these vents with food such as soda,
cereal, bread, etc. If the vents are blocked, airflow will be
prevented and the temperature controls will not function
properly.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both
sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to
the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to
eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer from food, wrap
or cover foods tightly.
Checking airflow
To measure the amount of cold air being directed from the
freezer compartment into the refrigerator section, hold
your hand in front of the top vent. You can adjust the
control to feel the different amounts of airflow.
For further information on temperatures inside your
refrigerator, refer to the "Troubleshooting" section.
Setting the Controls
For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are
preset at the factory. When you first install your
refrigerator, make sure that the controls are still preset.
The Refrigerator Control and the Freezer Control should
both be at the "mid-settings" as shown in the illustrations
below.
The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator
compartment temperature. Settings to the left of the
mid-setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to
the right of the mid-setting make the temperature colder.

NOTE: Your product will not cool when the Refrigerator
Control is set to OFF.
The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment
temperature. Settings to the left of the mid-setting make
the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-
setting make the temperature colder.

Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food
into the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has
cooled completely, your food may spoil. Turning the
Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder)
than recommended setting will not cool the
compartments any faster.
NOTE: The Automatic Exterior Moisture control
continuously guards against moisture buildup on the
outside of your refrigerator cabinet. This control does not
have to be set or adjusted.
