ALLOWING COOLING tImE BEfORE USE

To ensure safe food storage, allow your refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 to 12 hours before placing food

inside. During this cooling period, you do not need to adjust the controls, which are preset at the factory.

SEttING COOLING tEmPERAtURES

Your refrigerator comes with a state-of-the-art electronic digital control system. The system's control panel is located at the top of

the the fresh food compartment.

The two digital displays on the left half of the control panel indicate the current settings or temperatures of your freezer and fresh

food compartments. The models with a 2-digit temperature display are for reference only, and do not display the current accurate

compartment temperature. Should you desire to see what the current accurate temperature is, place a separate thermometer

inside the freezer or fresh food compartment in the desired location.

(Single Digit Display - Features may vary.)

What number should my Frigidaire refrigerator be set at 1 9?

The coldest setting is "9" and the warmest setting is "1". The "0" setting is OFF, which turns the cooling off. Turn knobs to lower numbers for warmer temperatures and to higher numbers for colder temperatures.

How do I set the temperature on my Frigidaire refrigerator?

The fridge temperature control that is coldest on the Frigidaire is typically all the way to the right. A freezer-on-top Frigidaire model may have a slider. Move the slider up to lower the temperature toward the coldest setting. For electronic controls, push the down button to lower the temperature in the refrigerator.

Is 1 or 7 the coldest setting on a Frigidaire refrigerator?

The numbers on the fridge's temperature dial indicate refrigerant power. The higher the number goes the colder the fridge will maintain. Setting it to 5 will make your fridge the coldest.
