FAQ

Q: How long should I wait for the refrigerator to cool completely before adding food?

A: Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. Adding food before the refrigerator has cooled completely may cause your food to spoil.

Q: How do I adjust the temperature settings?

A: If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked before adjusting the controls. Adjusting the set points to a colder-than-recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster. The recommended settings should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
