No Defrosting Ambient Room Temperature Limits
It is not necessary to defrost the frozen food or fresh food
compartment. Although your refrigerator is designed and
equipped to defrost itself automatically, some frost on
packages is normal.
This refrigerator is designed to operate in ambient
temperatures specified by its Temperature Class which is
marked on the rating plate.

Fresh Food
The fresh food control dial has nine settings plus 0.
1 is the warmest. 9 is the coldest. At first, set the dial at 5.
After using the refrigerator, adjust the dial if necessary.
Insert a coin into the slot in the middle of the dial to
turn the dial.
Allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to get cold.
NOTE: Turning the dial to 0 stops cooling in both compartments—
fresh food and frozen food storage–but does not shut off power to
the refrigerator.
Frozen Food
At first, set the dial at 3. The frozen food control moves
a damper to change the amount of cold air that moves
from the frozen food compartment to the fresh food
compartment.
