TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Setting the controls...
Controls forthe refrigerator and freezer are in the
refrigerator. When the refrigerator is plugged in for
the first time...
T(g) gc
1. Set the TEMPERATURE CONTROL to 3.
2. Set the Air CONTROL to B.
Changing the control settings...
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator 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 nor-
mal 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.
l
Then adjust the Air Control, if needed.
