Using the Controls For your convenience, your convertible refrigerator/freezer controls are preset at the factory with the upper compartment set in refrigeration mode and the lower compartment controls set at the midpoint. When you first install your convertible refrigerator/freezer, make sure that the controls are still preset to the factory settings. Upper Compartment Control The upper compartment of your convertible refrigerator/freezer can function as either a refrigerator or a freezer.

If you add food before the convertible refrigerator/freezer has cooled completely, your food may spoil. Adjusting the Lower and Upper Compartment Controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
