FOR
TEMPERATURES
TO
STABILIZE
Your refrigerator has two controls
that let you regulate the temperature
in the fresh food and freezer
compartments.
INITIALLY, set the
FRESH
FOOD
control at
5
and the
FREEZER control at
C.
For colder or warmer temperatures,
adjust the desired compartment
control one letter or number at a time.
IMPORTANT
When initially setting the controls
or when adjusting them, allow
24
hours for the temperatures to
stabilize, or even out.
Note: Turning the fresh food
control to the
OFF
position stops
cooling in
BOTH
compartments-
fresh food AND freezer-but
does not shut
off
power
to
the
refrigerator.
How
to
Test Temperatures
Use the
milk
test for the fresh food
compartment.
Place a container of
milk
on the top shelf in the fresh
food compartment. Check it a day
later.
If
the milk is too warm or too
cold, adjust the temperature controls.
Use the ice cream test for the
freezer compartment.
Place a
container of ice cream in the center
of the freezer compartment. Check
it after a day. If it’s too hard or too
soft, adjust the temperature controls.
Always allow
24
hours for
the refrigerator to reach the
temperature
you
set.
If
you
turn
your
household
thermostat below
60°F.
at night
.
. .you may want to turn the
lettered
control one step colder,
as
from
“C”
to
“DI’
Cooler temperatures in the
house may cause the compressor to
operate less frequently, thus allowing
the freezer compartment to warm
somewhat. To protect your frozen
food supply, leave your
lettered
setting at this colder setting for the
entire winter or for whatever period
of time you are turning down your
thermostat. This is especially
important when the thermostat is
turned down for an extended period.
This change should have no effect
on your fresh food compartment.
However,
if
freezing occurs, turn
the numbered control one step
warmer, as from
“5”
to
‘‘4;’
When you stop turning the
thermostat down, turn temperature
controls back
to
their regular settings.
Energy Saver Switch
The Energy
Saver Switch is
located on the
temperature
control panel.
To reduce the amount of
electricity required to operate
your refrigerator, push switch to
the left position.
This turns off heaters in your
refrigerator that prevent moisture
from forming on the outside.
With the heaters turned off, there
is a chance that moisture may form
on the outside of your refrigerator,
especially when the weather is
humid. The humidity is most likely
to be high in the summer,
in
the
early morning hours, and in homes
which are not air conditioned.
Over an extended period of time,
moisture’that forms
on the outside
may cause deterioration of the paint
finish. It will be important
to
protect
the finish
by
using appliance polish
wax
as
described on page
12.
When the Energy Saver Switch
is
pushed
to
the right,
electricity
flows through the low wattage
heaters which
warm
the outside
of the cabinet and, under most
conditions, prevent the forming
of moisture or water droplets.
No
Defrosting
It
is not necessary to defrost the
freezer or fresh food compartments.
Your refrigerator is designed and
equipped to defrost itself
automatically.
