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 "tNITIAL 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, if you want colder or warmer
temperatures in either compartment, adjust the controls
one btter or number at a time
NOTE: Turning the Fresh Food 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 IFthe 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, adiust the temperature controls
Turning your Household Thermostat
Below 60°F. (16°C.) 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 cotder setting should
have no effect on your Freshfood 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 regular settings
Food Storage Suggestions
Fresh Food Storage Tips
To store unfrozen meats, fish and poultry:
• Atways remove store wrappings.
• Rewrap in foil, plastic wrap or wax paper and
refrigerate immediately
To store cheese, wrap well with wax paper or
aluminum foil, or put in a plastic bag,
• Carefully wrap to expel air and help prevent mold_
• Store pre-packaged cheese in its own wrapping if
you wish
To store vegetables, use the vegetable drawers-
they've been designed to preserve the natural
moisture and Freshness of produce
" Covering vegetables with a moist towel helps
maintain crispness
" As a further aid to Freshness, pre-packaged
vegetables can be stored in their original wrapping
Tips on Freezing Foods
1. Freeze only top-quality foods. Freezing retains
quality and flavor; it cannot improve quality
2o Freeze fruits and vegetables quickly after
picking. The sooner you do, the better the Frozen
product will be, with lesscuIling and sorting to do,
3. Use food wraps designed especially for
freezing.
To freeze meat, fish and poultry, wrap well in
freezer-weight foil (or other heavy-duty wrapping
material) Forming it carefully to the shape of the
contents This expels air Fold and crimp ends of
the package to provide a good, lasting seal
Don't refreeze meat that has completely thawed;
meat, whether raw or cooked, can be Frozen
successfully only once
To store ice cream-Fine-quality ice cream, with
high cream content, will normally require slightly
lower temperatures than more "airy" already-
packaged brands with low cream content
• It will be necessary to experiment to determine the
freezer compartment location and temperature
control setting to keep your ice cream at the right
serving temperature
• The rear of the freezer compartment is slightly
colder than the fronk
