use the nlill{test for the fresh food
coBllpartlR3e13tS
Place a container of
milk on the top shelf in the fresh
food compartment. Check it a day
the r~frigeratorto reach the
temperatureyou set.
If
you
turn
your household
thermostat below 60"FQ
at
night
. . . you may wantto turn the lettered
controlone stepcolder,as from "C"
to "D:' Cooler temperaturesin the
house may cause the compressor to
operateless frequently,thus allowing
the freezer compartment to warm
somewhat. To protect your frozen
food supply,leaveyour lettered
setting at this colder setting for the
entire winter or for whateverperiod
of time you are turning down your
thermostat. This is especially
important when the thermostat is
turned down for an extendedperiod.
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
thermostat down, turn temperature
controlsback to theirregularsettings.
The Energy Saver Switch is located
on the temperature control panel.
