Controller for Freezer Compartment

*1

This feature is only available on some models.

Type A*1

Type B*1

Note
  • For optimal food preservation, increasing or decreasing one level from the default temperature is recommended.

Note
  • Wait until 2 or 3 hours have passed after connecting the appliance to the outlet before storing food in the appliance. If operation is interrupted, wait 5 minutes before restarting.

  • The internal temperatures could be affected by the location of the appliance, the ambient temperature, the frequency of door opening and so on.

  • The default setting of the temperature control knob for the refrigerator compartment is 4.

  • The default setting of the temperature control dial for the freezer compartment is 3.

  • Setting the freezer controller to a higher number lowers the temperature of the freezer compartment.

  • Because the amount of cooled air supplied does not change, the refrigerator compartment will be warmer if the freezer compartment becomes colder.

  • When the freezer compartment is not cold enough in summer, adjust the control in the freezer to High (4~5) for type A or (3~4) for type B.

  • Setting the freezer dial at (4~5) for type A or (3~4) for type B will maintain a low temperature in the freezer, but the refrigerator will cool more slowly. In warmer climates, it may also be necessary to adjust the refrigerator compartment to a cooler temperature (6~7).

  • Use the freezer settings 5-7 to quick freeze items in the freezer compartment. Leave the refrigerator setting the same or set it to a warmer setting. When the quick freezing is finished, change the settings back to the recommended settings.
