Safety first
Child entrapment, and suffocation, are
not things of the past. Junked or abandoned
refrigerators are still dangerous ...even if
they will "just sit in the garage for a few
days.”
If you are getting rid of your old
refrigerator, do it safely. Please read the
enclosed safety booklet from the Associa
tion of Home Appliance Manufacturers.
Help prevent accidents.

Setting the controls...
Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are in the
refrigerator. When the refrigerator is plugged in for
the first time,,.
1, Set the TEMPERA
TURE CONTROL to3.
2. Set the AIR CON
TROL to B.
Changing the control settings...
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refriger
ator or freezer, use the settings listed in the chart
below.
Air Outlet
Give the refrigerator time to cool down com
pletely before adding food. (This may take sev
eral hours.)
These settings should be about right for normal
household refrigerator usage.
The oontrols will be set about right when milk or
juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream
is firm.
Do not block the air outlet on the control panel.
Blocking it can slow the air movement needed to
keep temperatures at the level you set.
• Adjust the Temperature Control first.
• Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.
• Then adjust the Air Control, if needed.
