SETTING
Two controls let you regulate the temperature in the fresh
food and freezer compartments
At first, set both controls at 'qnitial Setting"
Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize, whether
you are setting the controls for the first time or adjusting
them later. Then, if you want colder or warmer
temperatures in either compartment, adjust the controls
one step at a time
NOTE: Moving the fresh bad control to OFF turns off
coating 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 Lfit'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 tessfrequently, 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, iffreezing occurs, move the numbered control
one step warmer.
When you stop turning the household thermostat down at
night, move the refrigerator temperature controls back to
their regular settings
