The Temperature Control and Air Control dials are on a console inside the refrigerator. To start the refrigerator, turn the TEMP. CONTROL dial to 3 and the AIR CONTROL dial to B. These are normal settings. It takes time for your refrigerator to reach proper storage temperatures. When you first turn it on, it will run continuously until the interior gets properly cold. Before loading with food, be sure the refrigerator has cycled at least once (turned on, turned off, and on again). Controls will be set about right if your milk or juice is as cold as your family likes it, and when ice cream is firm. The control console has directions for raising or lowering the temperatures, if needed. Off Setting Helps Save Energy
