manual)
When the refrigerator is plugged in,
the interior light should come on when
you open the doors.
Twin Cooling System
,,The refrigerator and the freezer have two evaporators. Given this inde-
pendent system, the freezer and the refrigerator are cooled individual-
ly and are, therefore, more efficient. Food odor from the refrigerator
does not affect food in the freezer due to separate air flow circulation.
Multi-Flow System
,, Cool air circulates through multiple vents on every shelf level. This pro-
vides even distribution of cooling inside cabinets to keep your food
fresh longer.
Setthe temperaturecontrol to thecoldest
temperatureand waitfor anhour.The
freezershouldget slightly chilledand the
motor shouldrun smoothly.
Oncethe refrigeratortemperature is suffi-
cientlylow,youcan store foodin the
refrigerator.Afterstartingthe refrigerator,it
takesafew hoursto reach the appropriate
temperature.
