Give your convertible refrigerator/freezer time to cool down 
completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before 
you put food into the convertible refrigerator/freezer.
If you add food before the convertible refrigerator/freezer has 
cooled completely, your food may spoil. Adjusting the Lower and 
Upper Compartment Controls to a colder than recommended 
setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
Adjusting Controls
The settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for 
normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or 
juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm. 
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the lower or upper 
compartment, first check the air vents to be sure they are not 
blocked.
If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the chart 
below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and 
then recheck the temperatures.

all the way to the left-hand side. Tilt the right-hand side up and 
out of the shelf supports.
2.
Replace the shelf by inserting the left-hand end all the way into 
the shelf supports. Then, lower the right-hand end of the shelf 
and insert it into the shelf supports.
NOTE: The shelf should lower slightly and lock into place. If the shelf 
does not appear stable, make sure both ends of the shelf are 
inserted into the shelf supports.

LOWER COMPARTMENT 
FEATURES
Shelves
For storage flexibility, the shelves in your convertible refrigerator/
freezer are adjustable. Adjust the shelves to different heights and 
store similar foods together. This reduces the time the door is open 
and saves energy.

out of the shelf supports.
2.
Replace the shelf/frame by guiding the rear shelf hooks into the 
shelf supports. Tilt the front of the shelf up until rear shelf hooks 
drop into the shelf supports. Check to make sure that the shelf is 
securely in position.
Full-Width Shelf
To Remove and Replace the Shelf:
1.
Remove all items from the shelf. Remove the shelf by raising the
