Anti-Moisture Switch; Temperature Controls - GE TBI18JIBPRWW Use And Care & Installation Manual

Fresh Food
Initially set both controls at "4."
The fresh food control moves
a damper to change the amount
of cold air that moves from the
frozen food compartment to the
fresh food compartment.

NOTE: Internal temperature may be affected by such factors as the
location of the refrigerator, ambient temperature and frequency of
door openings. Adjust temperature controls as required to compensate
for these factors.
How to Test Temperatures
Use the milk test for the fresh food 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 frozen food storage compartment.
Place a container of ice cream in the center of the frozen food storage
compartment. Check it after a day. If it's too hard or too soft, adjust
the temperature controls.
After changing the controls, always allow 24 hours for the
refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.

Frozen Food
The frozen food control
maintains the temperatures
throughout the frozen food
storage compartment. Moving
the frozen food control to "0"
stops cooling in both areas—
fresh food and frozen food
storage compartments—but
does not shut off power to
the refrigerator.
Effervescent drinks should not be stored in the frozen food storage
compartment. For fastest food freezing, set the frozen food control at
position "7." Since the compressor will run 100% of the time at this
setting, don't forget to turn back the setting after the food is frozen.

Anti-Moisture Switch

The anti-moisture switch is located on the
temperature control panel. To reduce the amount
of electricity required to operate your refrigerator,
push switch to the left.
This turns off the unit in your refrigerator that
prevents moisture from forming on the inside or
outside surfaces.
With this unit turned off, moisture may form on the
inside or 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
refrigerator surface may cause deterioration of the paint finish. It will
be important to protect the finish by using appliance polish wax as
described in the Care and Cleaning section.
The cost to operate the low-wattage unit is about the same as it costs
to use two night lights.
When you move the anti-moisture switch to the right, low wattage
electricity flows through the unit and warms the outside of the
refrigerator and the top of the fresh food section. Under most
conditions, this prevents the forming of moisture or water droplets.
No Defrosting
It is not necessary to defrost the frozen food storage compartment
or fresh food compartment. Although your refrigerator is designed
and equipped to defrost itself automatically, some frost on packages
is normal.
