OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WRF954CIHV 36 Inch Wide Counter Depth French Door Refrigerator
IMPORTANT: Before operating this appliance, make sure it has been properly
installed according to the appliance’s Owner’s Manual.
For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer temperature controls are
set to the recommended set points at the factory. When you first install your
refrigerator, make sure the temperature controls are still set to the
recommended set points. The recommended set points are 37°F (3°C) for the
refrigerator and 0°F (-18°C) for the freezer.
The touch-activated controls are located above the external dispenser and on
the side of the left inner refrigerator door.
IMPORTANT:
-
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.
NOTE: Areas such as a garage, basement, or porch may have higher humidity or extreme temperatures. You may need to adjust the temperature away from the recommended settings to accommodate for these conditions. -
Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer controls to a colder-than- recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster. -
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.

Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments. Recheck the temperatures before other adjustments are made.
