Setting The Controls; Adjusting Control Settings - Whirlpool 2205958 Guide D'utilisation

Setting the Controls

For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at
the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure
that the controls are still preset. The Refrigerator Control and the
Freezer Control should both be at the "mid-settings" as shown in
the illustrations below.
Style 1
NOTE: Your product will not cool when the REFRIGERATOR
Control is set to OFF.
Style 2
NOTE: Your product will not cool when the FREEZER Control is
set to OFF.
The Refrigerator Control adjusts the refrigerator
compartment temperature. Settings to the left of the mid-
setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of
the mid-setting make the temperature colder.
The Freezer Control adjusts the freezer compartment
temperature. Settings to the left of the mid-setting make the
temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-setting
make the temperature colder.
Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into
the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT: If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled
completely, your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and
Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended
setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

Adjusting Control Settings

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding
food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the
refrigerator. The settings indicated in the previous section should
be correct for normal household refrigerator usage. The controls
are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and
when ice cream is firm.
If you need to adjust temperatures in the refrigerator or freezer,
use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least
24 hours between adjustments.
