REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Controls

NOTE: Make sure the refrigerator is plugged into a grounded 
3 prong  outlet.

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the 
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the 
controls are still preset to the mid-settings as shown.

IMPORTANT: 

■

The refrigerator control adjusts the refrigerator compartment 
temperature. The freezer control adjusts the freezer 
compartment temperature.

■

The displays normally show the actual temperatures inside 
the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Sometimes, 
temperatures may vary slightly in different areas of each 
compartment. For example, frequently opening the door 
allows air from the room to enter the compartment, exposing 
door bins to room-temperature air. When reading the display, 
keep in mind that it shows an average temperature for the 
entire compartment. If you want to view the temperature you 
set for the compartment rather than the actual temperature, 
see “Viewing Set Points.”

Proper Disposal of Your Old Refrigerator

IMPORTANT: Child entrapment and suffocation are not problems 
of the past. Junked or abandoned refrigerators are still dangerous 
– even if they will sit for “just a few days.” If you are getting rid of 
your old refrigerator, please follow these instructions to help 
prevent accidents.

Before You Throw Away Your Old Refrigerator or Freezer:

■

Take off the doors.

■

Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily 
climb inside.
