USING YOUR
REFRIGERATOR
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit
air flow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As
shown in the illustration, cool air enters through the bottom
of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then
flows through the freezer section vents and recirculates
under the freezer floor. The rest of the air enters the
refrigerator section through the top vent.
Do not block any of these vents
with food packages. If
the vents are blocked, airflow will be prevented and
temperature and moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT:
Because air circulates between both
sections, any odors formed in one section will transfer to
the other. You must thoroughly clean both sections to
eliminate odors. To prevent odor transfer and drying out of
food, wrap or cover foods tightly. (See the “Food Storage
Guide” section for details.)
Setting the Controls
For your convenience, the refrigerator controls are
preset at the factory.
Controls for the refrigerator and
freezer are located in the top of the refrigerator section.
When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that
the controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control
and the Freezer Control should both be at the “mid-
settings” as shown. The “mid-setting” for Style 1 is “4”
and the “mid-setting” for Style 2 is “3”.

Style 2
NOTE:
To turn your refrigerator off, turn the Refrigerator
Control until the word OFF appears, as shown below. Your
refrigerator will not cool when the Refrigerator Control is
set to OFF.
Style 1
Style 2
Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food
into the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
If you add food before the refrigerator has
cooled completely, your food may spoil.
Turning the
Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder)
than recommended setting will not cool the
compartments any faster.
The Freezer Control functions as an airflow director.
Setting “1” will direct more of the cold air into the
refrigerator section, while setting “5” (or “7” depending on
your model) will direct more of the cold air into the freezer
section. The cold air flows from the freezer compartment
through the
top vent
into your fresh food section (see
diagram in the “Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” section).
