TEMPERATURE
GUIDE
If you turn your household thermos
down to 60° each evening, you may find
it desirable to turn your
freezer
ccmtrol
to colder setting by one letter, such as
from "C" to "D" and leave it at this set-
ting during the entire period that you are
setting the house ho 1d thermostat down
each evening. The fresh food setting will
not likely need to be changed; however,
it you experience freezing in fresh food
compartment, you could set the fresh food
control one number warmer— such as "5"
to "4'
If a container 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 ac-
cordingly.
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 resettinz either dial to
make sure new setting
perature you desire.
