How
to
test tem~~rat~r~s
Usethe milk test for the freshfood
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 con-
tainer 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 refrig-
If you turn your household
thermostat below
60°F. at
night
...you may want to turn the Ietiered
control one step colder, as from "C"
to "D." Cooler temperatures in the
house may cause the freezer con-
trols to operate less frequently,
thus allowing the freezer compart-
ment to warm somewhat. To protect
your frozen food supply, leave your
Ietieredsetting at this coidersetting
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.
This change should have no
effect on your fresh food section.
However, if freezing occurs, turn
the numbered control one step
warmer, as from "5" to "4."
When you stop turning the therm~
stat down, turn temperature controls
back to their regular settings.
EnergySaver Switch
The Energy Saver Switch is located
on the temperature control panel.
To reduce the amount of electricity
required to operate your refriger-
ator,
ptJsh
switch to the left position.
This turns off heaters in your
refrigerator that prevent moisture
from forming on the outside.
Use of the Energy Saver Switch
can save you money. Estimated
yearly savings, depending on your
local electric rates, are as follows:

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 11.
m
When the Energy Saver Switch is
pushedto the right,electricity flows
through the low wattage heaters
which warm the outside of the cab-
inet and, under most conditions,
prevent the forming of moisture
or water droplets.
No defrosting
It is not necessary to defrost the
freezer or fresh food compartments.
Your refrigerator is designed and
equipped to defrost itself
automatically.
