It takes time for your refrigerator to reach proper storage temper-
atures. When you first turn it on, it will run continuously until the interior
gets properly cold. Before loading with food, be sure the refrigerator
has cycled at least once [turned on, turned off, and on again).
Controls will be set about right if your milk or juice is as cold as your
family likes It, and when ice cream is firm.
The control console has directions for raising or lowering the tem-
peratures, if needed.
Power Saving Control.
The Power Saving Control inside your refrigerator controls electric
heaters. These heaters help prevent moisture from forming on the
outside of the refrigerator when humidity is high. Use the OFF setting
when humidity is low. Use ON if moisture forms on the outside of the
refrigerator.
