Power Saver Switch - Hotpoint CTX22G Use And Care Manual

Set temperature controls
Your refrigerator has two controls
that let you regulate the temperature
in the fresh food and freezer
compartments.
INITIAL SETTING C
COLDEST
E
FREEZER
The freezer control has settings
from "A" (the warmest) to "E" (the
coldest). Initially set the freezer
control at "C?'
INITIAL SETTING
5
FRESH
The fresh food control has settings
from "l" (the warmest) to "9" (the
coldest) and "OFF." Initially set
the fresh food control at "5?'
For colder or warmer temperatures,
adjust the desired compartment
control one number at a time.
IMPORTANT: When initially
setting controk, or adjusting them,
-
allow 24 hours for temperatures
to stibilize, or even out.
Note: Turning the fresh food
control to OFF position stops
cooling in BOTH compartments—
fresh food AND freezer—but
does not shut off power to
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. If it's too hard or too
soft, adjust the temperature controls.
Always allow 24 hours for
the refrigerator to reach the
temperature you set.
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.
FOOD
This change should have no effect
on your fresh food compartment.
However, if freezing occurs, turn
the numbered control one step
warmer, as from "5" to "4?'
When you stop turning the
controls back to their regular settings.

Power saver switch

With the heaters turned off, there
is a chance that moisture may form
on the outside of your refrigerator,
especially when the weather is
humid. The humidity is most likely
to be high in the summer, in the
early morning hours, and in homes
which are not air conditioned.
Over an extended period of time,
moisture that forms on the outside
may cause deterioration of the paint
finish. It will be important to protect
the finish by using appliance polish
wax as described on page D.

When the power saver switch
is pushed to the right, electricity
flows through the low wttage
heaters which warm the outside
of the cabinet and, under most
conditions, prevent the forming
of moisture or water droplets.
No defrosti~
It is not necessary to defrost the
freezer or fresh food compartments.
Although your refrigerator is
designed and equipped to defrost
itself automatically, some frost
on packages is normal.
