About the temperature controls.4The temperature controls are preset in the factory at 37°F for the refrigerator compartment and 0°F forthe freezer compartment. Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize to the preset recommendedsettings.The temperature controls can display both the SET temperature as well as the actual temperature in therefrigerator and freezer. The actual temperature may vary slightly from the SET temperature based onusage and operating environment.
