Manual

Setting Controls

This refrigerator is designed to operate most

efficiently under normal household

temperatures ranging from 55° to 110°F

(12° to 43°C).

Thermostatic Control

Thermostatic control is located in center divider

between refrigerator and freezer sections and

operates independently of freezer control. A

hidden thermostatic sensor measures

refrigerator air temperature constantly. If

temperature rises as little as 1 1/2°F (.8°C) from

setting, thermostatic control lets in more cold

air.

Refrigerator and Freezer controls

Locate refrigerator and freezer controls

at center divider between refrigerator and

freezer.

When freezer control is set to “Off”, neither

refrigerator nor freezer sections will cool.

Initially set both controls to “4”. Wait 24 hours

for refrigerator and freezer to reach desired

temperatures. After 24 hours, adjust controls

as desired. ”1" is warmest setting and ”7" is

coldest.

To set temperatures more precisely, use a

household thermometer that includes

temperatures between -5° to 50°F

(-20.5° to 10°C). Thermometer can be

purchased at a hardware store.

In freezer put thermometer snugly between

frozen food packages. Wait 5-8 hours. If

temperature is not 0° to 2°F (-18° to -17°C),

adjust control, one number at a time. Check

again after 5-8 hours.

In refrigerator put thermometer in a glass of

water. Place glass on shelf in middle of

refrigerator. Wait 5-8 hours. If temperature is

not 38° to 40°F (3° to 4°C), adjust control, one

number at a time. Check again after 5-8

hours.

Exterior Moisture Control

In hot humid conditions, refrigerators form

moisture around doors, similar to condensation

that forms on a cold glass. Special heaters in

refrigerator cabinet minimize condensation.

Humidity is subjective depending on location of

refrigerator. If refrigerator is in a warm, humid

area, set control to "On". If refrigerator is in a

cooler, less humid area, set control to "Off".

Setting may need to be adjusted as conditions

change.

Important

High quality steel is used in this refrigerator.

However, constant exposure to moisture may

cause refrigerator cabinet to rust. Anytime

moisture forms on refrigerator cabinet, set

control to "On".

No, the fridge-freezer needs to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it can be turned on. This is because the coolant liquid needs to settle.

Is it normal that water or ice drops are forming on the back wall of my fridge-freezer? Verified

Yes, this a completely normal phenomenom. The moisture that enters the fridge-freezer with warm air or products will settle on the coldest part, being the back wall. Because the back wall can reach temperatures below freezing, the drops will freeze from time to time. When the fridge-freezer is idle the drops will thaw and flow to the drain of the fridge-freezer.

How long does it take for my refrigerator to reach the set temperature after I turn it on? Verified

This depends on the size, age and model of the refrigerator. It may take several hours to 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the set temperature. The process can be accelerated by placing non-perishable goods in the refrigerator. The temperature in the refrigerator cannot be measured properly by feeling the air inside. The best way to tell if the refrigerator has reached the set temperature is to place a glass of water in the refrigerator with a thermometer in it.

There is condensation in my refrigerator, why is that? Verified

There can be several causes. The door gasket can be defective, allowing outside air into the refrigerator. It's also possible that the refrigerator is not level, preventing the door from closing correctly. Another cause is a large difference between the temperature inside the refrigerator and outside while the door is being opened frequently.
