temperature inside the appliance.
Press “°C/°F” to set the refrigerator temperature between 36°F and 46°F as
needed; the display panel will show corresponding values according to the
following sequence. Super Freeze

will freeze faster. This can lock in the vitamins and nutrients of fresh food
and keep food fresh for longer. You can press “°C/°F” for 3 seconds to
activate the Super Freeze mode. When Super Freeze mode is selected, the light
lights up and the freezer temperature will be set at -11°F. In case you have a

baskets. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable parts before putting them
back into place. Although this appliance automatically defrosts,a layer of
frost may occur on the freezer compartment’s interior walls if the freezer
door is opened frequently or kept open too long. If the frost is too thick,
choose a time when the freezer is nearly empty and proceed as follows:
