In order to ensure proper temperatures,
you need to permit
airflow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in
the illustration, cool air enters the freezer section through vents in
the rear and top. The air flows forward through the freezer section
and recirculates under the freezer floor. Cool air enters the
refrigerator section through the top, flows down and across
shelves to the doors and recirculates to return air vents at the
bottom.
Do not block any airflow vents. If the vents are blocked, airflow
will be obstructed
and temperature
and moisture problems may
occur.
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 avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
Your model may have Electronic Controls or Digital Controls.
IMPORTANT:
•
The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment
temperature.
The freezer control adjusts the freezer
compartment
temperature.
•
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.
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. See "Ensuring Proper
Air Circulation."
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.
For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer 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.

IMPORTANT:
•
To turn your refrigerator off, press the freezer down arrow
touch pad until a dash (-) appears in both the refrigerator and
freezer displays. Neither compartment
will cool.
•
The temperature
control range for each compartment
is 1
through 7 (coldest).
Adjusting Electronic Controls
If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or
freezer compartment,
use the settings listed in the chart below as
a guide.
Press the up or down arrow touch pads to adjust the
temperature.
Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust
either control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours for
the temperature to stabilize between adjustments.
