Crosley 2209920 User Manual

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 “Refrigerator Safety” section for details.)

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 
control(s) are still preset. The control(s) should be at the 
“mid-settings” as shown for each control.

NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to 
the word OFF or until the word OFF appears, as shown below. 
Your product will not cool when the refrigerator control is set to 
OFF.

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 or 
Freezer Control(s) to a higher (colder) than recommended 
setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

The Power Saving Control operates electronic heaters around the 
door openings. these heaters help keep moisture from forming on 
the outside of the refrigerator cabinet. 

■

Use the CONSUMES LESS ENERGY setting when 
humidity is low. 

■

Use the REDUCES EXTERIOR MOISTURE setting if 
moisture forms on the otside of the refrigerator cabinet.

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding 
food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the 
refrigerator. The “mid-settings” indicated in the previous section 
should be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The 
controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like 
and when ice cream is firm. 

If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer, 
start by adjusting the Refrigerator Control first. Wait 24 hours 
after the refrigerator adjustment to check the freezer 
temperature. If it is too warm or too cold, then adjust the Freezer 
Control as well.

Use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Always 
remember to wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.
