TEMPERATURE
CONTROL
Setting the control...
The control for the refrigerator temperature is in
the refrigerator. When the refrigerator is plugged in
and the Run Switch is moved to RUN.
LIGHT SWITCH
Give the refrigerator time to cool down
completely before adding food. (This may take
several hours.)
This setting should be about right for normal
household refrigerator usage.
The control will be set about right when milk or
juice is as cold as you like. In hot weather or if the
door is opened often, turn the control to a higher
number to keep the temperature you like. If the milk
or juice is too cold or refrigerator items start to
freeze, turn the control to a lower number or adjust
the freezer tray damper. Wait 24 hours after an
adjustment is made before further change is
made to the controls.
l
Set the Thermostat Control to 3.
The freezer tray...
The freezer tray is located under the freezer
compartment.
The damper at the rear of the freezer tray helps
control the refrigerator temperature for warm
weather operation. The damper can be adjusted
for proper cooling and defrosting of the
refrigerator.
To adjust the damper:
1. Pull out the freezer tray.
2. Lift out the damper from the rear of the tray.
3. Slide damper into the desired position.
NOTE: “B&D” positions provide fine cooling
adjustments to best meet your cooling needs in
warm weather.
