compartment on the top. The refrigerator compartment
temperature control ranges from “1”, cold setting, to “7”,
coldest setting. The first time the unit is turned on, adjust
the temperature control knob to a higher (colder) setting
and run for at least 24 hours before readjusting the temeparture
and placing food inside. This will ensure the cabinet is
thoroughly chilled before food is placed into the refrigerator.
Ifyouchoosetochangethethermostatsetting,adjustthe
thermostat
by one increment at a time. After each movement of the control knob, allow
several hours for the unit to adjust completely. Large amounts of food may lower the
cooling efficiency of the appliance.

•Is normal in hot andhumid weather. Air carries
moisture into the refrigerator when doors are
opened.
•This is the normal sound
of refrigerant (used to cool
refrigerator) circulating throughout the system.
•This is normal. Metal parts undergo expansion and
contraction, like hot water pipes. The sound will
