IMPORTANT
Adjusting the refrigerator temperature control 
to “0” turns off the compressor and prevents 
the refrigerator from cooling, but does not 
disconnect the power to the light bulb and 
other electrical components. To turn off power 
to your refrigerator, you must unplug the 
power cord from the wall outlet.

Refrigerator Control (some models)
Allow 24 hrs for adjustments
Temperature Adjustment 
(Mechanical Control)
•  Adjust temperature gradually: adjust the 
knob in small increments, allowing the 
temperature to stabilize.
•  For colder temperatures, adjust the knob 
towards Colder.
•  For warmer temperatures, adjust the knob 
towards Cold.
Adjusting the refrigerator control will change 
temperatures in both compartments. The 
auxiliary freezer control can be left at the factory 
pre-set (Normal) or adjusted as desired; it has no 
effect on electrical power to the refrigerator.
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air 
in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. 
For good circulation, do not block cold air vents 
with food items.
Cool Down Period
To ensure safe food storage, allow the 
refrigerator to operate with the doors closed 
for at least 8 hours before loading it with food.
