Your refrigerator has two controls
that let you regulate the temperature
in the fresh food and freezer
compartments.
INITIALLY, set the FRESH
FOOD controls 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:
the fresh food
control to
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. 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
at night
. . .
you may want to turn the lettered
control one step colder, as from “C”
to
Cooler temperatures in the
house may cause the compress to
operate less frequently, thus
allowing the freezer compartment
to warm somewhat. To protect your
frozen food supply, leave your
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 setting.
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.
