Using Your Refrigerator
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 for the first time:
1. Set the Refrigerator Control to 3
(Recommended Setting). Refrigerator
Control settings range from 1 (warmer) to
5 (cooler).
2. Set the Freezer Control to 3
(Recommended Setting). Freezer
Control settings range from 1 (warmer)
to 5 (cooler).
3. Give the refrigerator time to cool down
completely 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 10.
