Operating Your Refrigerator
Set the
Temperature Controls
Your refrigerator has two controls
that let you regulate the temperature
in the fresh food and freezer
compartments.
INITIALLY, set the FRESH
FOOD control 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 your refrigerator is first
installed, allow 24 hours for
stabilization to normal operating
temperature before filling it with
large amounts of fresh or frozen
foods.
Note: Turning the fresh food
control to "OFF" turns off BOTH
compartments--fresh food AND
freezer.
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 If it's too hard or too
soft, adjust the temperature controls.
If you turn your
household thermostat below
60°F. at night
_°you may want to turn the lettered
control one step colder, as from "C"
to "D" 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
lettered 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 compartmenL
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
settings,
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 iL
No Defrosting
It is not necessary to defrost the
freezer or fresh food compartments.
Your refrigerator is designed and
equipped to defrost itself
automatically.
