Some Refrigerator controls have a Snowflake symbol and a line that narrows as it curves around the control. Moving the dial or control to the Snowflake symbol makes the appliance COLDER.
- When adjusting the temperature control, clockwise is colder and counter-clockwise is warmer.
Control Settings and Temperature Equivalents
The general temperature equivalents for the settings on Refrigerator models with a Snowflake or "Cold - Colder - Coldest" on the control are as follows:
- At the Coldest setting the temperature is approximately 34 degrees Fahrenheit in the Fresh Food section and -5 degrees Fahrenheit in the Freezer section.
- At the Colder setting the temperature is approximately 37 degrees Fahrenheit in the Fresh Food section and 0 degrees Fahrenheit in the Freezer section.
- At the Cold setting the temperature is approximately 40 degrees Fahrenheit in the Fresh Food section and 5 degrees Fahrenheit in the Freezer section.
Please Note: These are general temperature equivalents and some variation will occur. Factors such as door openings, food load and room temperature affect the temperature inside the Refrigerator.
