Temperature Controls
Your refrigerator has two controls that let you
regulate the temperature in the fresh food and
freezer compartments
At first, set the Fresh Food control at "5" and the
Freezer control at "C'(
Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize, whether
you are setting the controls for the first lime or adjusting
them later. Then, if you want colder or warmer
temperatures in either compartment, adjust the controls
one letter or number at a time
NOTE: Turning the Fresh Food control to OFF turns off
cooling in both compartments-fresh food and freezer-
but does not shut off power to the refrigerator
How to test temperatures:
Use milk test for 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 istoo
warm or too cold, adjust the temperature controls.
Use ice cream test for freezer compartment.
Place a container of ice cream in the center of the
freezer compartmenL Check it after a day tf it's too
hard or too soft, adiust the temperature controls.
If you turn your household
thermostat below 60°1:, at
night...you may want to move
the freezer control one step
colder Cooler temperatures
in the house may cause the
compressor to operate tess
frequently, thus allowing the
freezer compartment to warm somewhat, To protect your
frozen food supply, leave the freezer setting at this colder
setting for the entire winter or for as long as you keep
your thermostat turned down
Moving the freezer control to a colder setting should
have no effect on your fresh food compartment.
However, if freezing occurs, move the fresh food control
one step warmer
When you stop turning the thermostat down, turn the
refrigerator's controls back to their regular settings..
