Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator is completely cooled, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the components faster.
If the temperature is too hot or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to make sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls.
