Operating YourRefrigerator
Set Temperature Controls
Your refrigerator has two up-front
controls that let you regulate the
temperature in the fresh food and
freezer compartments.
One cont~ol, with settings from 1
through 9, is located at the upper
right in the fresh fd compartment.
The other control, with settings
from 1 through 9 plus OFF, is
located on the left side wall near
the top of the freezer compartment.
9 is the coldest setting, 1 is the
warmest.
/
INITIALLY, SET BOTH "'
CONTROLS AT 5.
For colder or warmer temperatures,
adjust the desired compartment
control one number at a time.
IMPORTANT When initially
setting contro& or adjusting them~
allow 24 hours for temperatures
to stabilize
Note: Thrning the freezer control
to the OFF position stops cooling
in B~H compartments-fresh
food AND freezer-but does not
shut off power to the refrigerator.
How to Test Temperatures
Use the milk test for the fresh f~d
compartment. Place a container of
milk on the top shelf in the fksh
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
container of ice cream in the center
of the freezer compartment. Check
it after a day. If it's too hard or too
sofi, adjust the temperature controls.
Always allow 24 hours for
the refrigerator t~ reach the
temperature you set.

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 10.

When the Energy Saver Stitch
is pushed to the front, electricity
flowsthrough the low wattage
heaters which warm the outside
of the cabinet and, undermost
conditions, prevent the fo~:ing
of moisture or water droplets.
No Defrosting
It is not necessary to defrost the
freezer or fresh fd compartments.
Although your refrigerator is
designed and equipped to defrost
itself automatically, some frost
on packages is normal.
