the temperature in the freezer and refrigerator
compartments.

• The refrigerator control is preset at 37°F (3°C) and

the freezer control is preset at 0°F (-18°C). These
are the recommended temperatures settings for

normal use and conditions. Wait 24 hours for the
refrigerator and freezer to reach these

temperatures.
