Remove the Consumer Buy Guide label and any
inside sales labels before using the refrigerator. Remove any left over glue with rubbing alcohol.
Allow 3 inches (7.5 cm) between overhead cabinets and the refrigerator top.
Allow l/z inch (1.3 cm) between counters and
sides of refrigerator.
Allow at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) between the condenser and the wall.
If the refrigerator is to be in a corner, keep 1%
inches (3.1 cm) between the wall and the side of
the refrigerator so there is room to open the doors
wider.

Temperathe Control
Setting the Controls...
Controls for adjusting temperatures are in the
refrigerator.
To start:
I. Set the TEMPERATURE CONTROL to 3.
2. Set the AIR CONTROL to B.
Give the refrigerator time to cool down com-
pletely before adding food. [This may take several
hours). The control console has directions for adjust-
ing temperatures, if needed. Controls will be set
about right if your milk or juice is as cold as your
family likes it, and when ice cream is firm.
Do not block the air outlet on the control
panel. That can slow the air movement needed to
keep temperatures at the level you set.
