Al10w24H0ursf0t lempor8ture$ 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. Do this before
filling the refrigerator with large
amounts of fresh or frozen foods.
Note: Turning the fresh food
control to “OFF” 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

you may want to turn the
Iettercd
control one step colder, as from “C”
to
“D:’
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
Supplyr,
leave your
lefrered
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
“41’
When you stop turning the
thermostat down, turn temperature
controls back to their regular
settings.
Automatic
Energy Saver System
You won’t find an “energy saver”
switch on this refrigerator.
Warm liquid from the refrigerator’s
condenser is automatically circulated
around the front edge of the freezer
compartment to help keep moisture
from forming on the outside of the
refrigerator during humid weather.
Many refrigerators use special
electric heaters. This refrigerator
needs none. That’s why there is no
“energy saver” switch. there’s no
need for it.
No Defrosting
It is not necessary to defrost the
freezer or fresh food compartments.
Your refrigerator is designed and
equipped to defrost itself
automatically.
