POWER SAVING CONTROL

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. (This may take several hours.)

These settings should be about right for normal household refrigerator usage.

The controls 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.

l

Adjust the Temperature Control first.

l

Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.

Then adjust the Air Control, if needed.
