Temperature Controls (appearance may vary)
Two controls let you regulate the temperature in the
fresh food and freezer compartments..
At first, set the Fresh Food and Freezer controls at the
center of the "INITIAL SETTING" range..
Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize, whether
you are setting the controls for the first time or adjusting
them later. Then, ifyou want colder or warmer
temperatures in either compartment, adjust the controls
one Getteror number at a time.
Note: Turning the FreshFood 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 is too
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 compartment. Check it after a day. If it's too
hard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls.
Turning your Household Thermostat
Below 60°E at Night?
You may want to move the Freezer control one step
colder= 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 supply, leave your Freezer
control at this new, 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, turn the numbered
control one step warmer
When you stop turning the household thermostat
down at night, turn the refrigerator temperature
controls back to their regutar settings,
