Multi-position
adjustable interior
shelves can be
moved to any
position for larger or
smaller packages.
The shipping

The Freeze Control Feature will maintain proper interior
refrigerator temperature even when the refrigerator is
placed in an area where the surrounding temperature drops
down to 10° F (-12° C).

For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the refrigerator to
cool down completely. The refrigerator will run continuously
for the first several hours.

The temperature control is located inside the refrigerator. The
temperature is factory preset to provide satisfactory food
storage temperatures. However, the temperature control is
adjustable to provide a range of temperatures for your
personal satisfaction.  If a colder temperature is desired, turn
the temperature control knob toward COLDEST and allow
several hours for temperatures to stabilize between adjustments.

Refrigerator Door Adjustments

• Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room,

out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or
registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-
producing appliances such as a range, oven or
dishwasher.

• Level the refrigerator so the doors close tightly.

• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air

vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer
and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with
aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator
less efficient, which could cause food spoilage.

• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing

them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture
build-up inside the unit.

• Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings.

Remove as many items as needed at one time and
close the door as soon as possible.
