Guide To Proper Temperatures: If a con-
tainer of milk is too warm or too cold to
your taste after being on the top shelf in
the Fresh Food compartment for a day,
adjust the Cold Control Dials accordingly.
If a gallon of ice cream remains firm to the
touch after being in the Freezer for a day,
the Cold Control Dials are at the 'proper
setting. If the ice cream's firmness is not
to your liking, adjust the dials accordingly.
Check a day after resetting either dial to
make sure new setting is providing the tem-
perature you desire.
If you advance the Freezer compartment
Cold Control Dial to "E' to freeze a quick
supply of ice cubes or a large amount of
food, be sure to reset the dial to its pre-
vious setting within a day.
POWER
CONSUMPTION
The kilowatt hours per month (Kwh/Mo.)
shown on the fact tag attached
to the
inner door is the measure of the power
consumed when tested in accordance with
AHAM Standard HRF-2ECFT with power
saver switch at the normal setting and at
the setting recommended
when moisture
forms on refrigerator exterior.
The approximate monthly cost of opera-
tion can be calculated by multiplying the
Kwh/Mo. by the cost per kilowatt hour
from your local power company. Cost of
operation
varies
under
actual
usage
conditions.
POWER
SAVERSWITCH
Your refrigerator is equipped with a power
saver switch located on the left side of the
refrigerator near the top of the fresh food
compartment
(Fig. 7). This switch allows
~TOU t o turn heaters
011
to eliminate mois-
mre on the exterior, if and when it forms.
POWER
SAVER
Fig. 7
This moisture can be expected only when
the weather is humid and if your kitchen is
not air conditioned. The switch should be
left on the "normal" position to save power
except when moisture does form. Remem-
ber to switch it back to normal when the
weather is no longer humid.
POWER-SAVING TIPS
~ Don't open doors more often than neces-
sary and close them as soon as possible,
particularly in hot, humid weather.
~ Store only foods requiring refrigeration
in your refrigerator.
o Wipe all moisture fr~m bottles and car-
tons before putting them into the refrigera-
tor, and keep all foods covered to reduce
moisture build-up inside.
o Don't waste ice cubes by letting many
melt whi~e using a few.
8
0 If you turn control to coldest position fo
quick chilling or freezing, don't forget to
turn it back to normal setting.
~ Don't overcrowd your refrigerator— ove
crowding can require extra electrical ener-
gy to keep everything cool.
o Before leaving the house or retiring for
the night, check to be sure doors haven't
been ieft ajar inadvertently.
e Don't locate your refrigerator adjacent
to your range, a heating vent or where sun-
shine will strike it if any other kitchen ar-
rangement is possible.
