Temperature Guide
If you turn your household thermostat down to 60° each
evening, you may.find it desirable to turn
your lettered con-
trol to colder setting by one letter, such as from "C" to "D"
and leave it at this setting during the entire period that you
are setting the household thermostat
down each evening.
The
numbered setting will not likely
need
to be changed;
however, if you experience freezing in Fresh Food compart-
ment, you could set the numbered control one number
warmer—such as "5" to "W
if a container of milk is too warm or too cold to your pref-
erence after being on top shelf in Fresh Food compartment
for a day, adjust Temperature Controls accordingly.
When Fresh Food compartment temperature is satisfactory,
make the ice cream test. If ice cream remains firm to the
touch after being in Freezer compartment for a
day, Tem-
perature Controls are at proper setting. If the ice cream's
firmness is not to your liking, adjust controls accordingly.
Checka
day after resetting either control to make sure the
new setting is providing the temperature you desire.
If you advance the /ettered control to "1?' to freeze a quick
supply of ice cubes or a large amount of food, be
sure to
reset the control to its previous setting within a day.
Your refrigerator
has an Energy Saver Switch located on
the upper left side of the Fresh Food compartment
This turns off heaters in your refrigerator that prevent mois-
ture from forming on the outside.
Use of this switch can save you money. Estimated yearly
savings, depending on your local electric rates} are as

YOIJcan leave the Energy Saver Switch on N013fvlAL, but,
heaters used to prevent moisture from forming on the ex-
terior of the refrigerator will be turned off. Therefore, when
the weather is humid, there is a chance that moisture will
form on the outside of the refrigerator cabinet.
When it is very humid, enough moisture can form to cause
water droplets to run down the cabinet exterior. The hu-
midity is most likely to be high in the summer, in the early
morning hours, and in homes which are not air conditioned.
This moisture may not be objectionable to you. However,
over extended periods it is possible that the moisture can
cause deterioration to the painted finish of the cabinet.
When the E%ergySaver Switch
is pushed to the right, electricity
flows through the low wattage
heaters which warm the exterior
of the cabinet and, under most conditions, prevent the
forming of moisture or water droplets.
