TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
Your refrigerator has
controls
that let you regulate the temperature
in the fresh
freezer
compartments.
INITIALLY, set the FRESH
FOOD controls at 5 and the
FREEZER control at C.
For
or warmer temperatures,
adjust the desired
control one letter or number
time.
IMPORTANT
When initially setting the controls,
or when adjusting them, allow
hours
the temperatures to
stabilize, even out. Do this
filling the refrigerator with
amounts
or
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
milk on the top
in
the fresh food compartment. Check
it
the milk is too
warm or
cold,
the
temperature controls.
Use the ice
test for the
freezer compartment. Place
container of ice cream in the center
the freezer compartment. Check
it after
it’s too hard or too
soft,
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
control one step colder,
“C”
to
Cooler temperatures in the
house may cause the compressor to
operate less frequently, thus
allowing the freezer compartment
to warm somewhat. To protect your
supply, leave your
setting at this colder setting
for the entire winter or
whatever
period time
turning down
your thermostat. This is especially
important when the thermostat is
turned down
an extended period.
This change should have no effect
on your fresh
compartment.
However, if freezing occurs, turn
the numbered control one step
warmer, as from
6
’5” to “4.”
When
stop turning the
thermostat down, turn temperature
controls
to their regular
settings.
Automatic
Energy Saver System
You won’t find “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.
