In order to obtain the best possible results from your refrigerator, it is important that you operate it

properly. This section will tell you how to do just that.

Setting the controls

Controls for the refrigerator and freezer are in the refrigerator. When the refrigerator is piugged in for

the first time:

1. Set the Refrigerator Control to 3.

Refrigerator Control adjustments range from 1 (warmest) to 5 (coldest).

2. Set the Freezer Control to B.

Freezer Control adjustments range from

A (warmest) to C (coldest).

3. Give the refrigerator time to cooi down com pletely before adding food. This may take several hours.

The settings indicated above should be

correct for normal, household refrigerator

usage. The controls will be set correctly when

milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm. If you need to adjust these settings, see “Changing the control settings” on page 8.

NOTE: The Automatic Exterior Moisture control continuously guards against moisture build-up on the outside of your refrigerator cabinet. This control does not have to be set or adjusted.
