Temperature Control; Garage Operation; Sabbath Mode - GE 16 Owner's Manual

Temperature Control

The temperature control adjusts the refrigerator from its
warmest to coldest settings.
Your refrigerator will come with the recommended
factory setting on "3". For colder temperature, turn
the knob clockwise to either setting "4" or "5". For
warmer temperature, turn the dial counter-clockwise
to either setting "1" or "2". To turn off the cooling in
both compartments, turn the knob counter-clockwise to
setting "Off". Note that this does not shut off power to the
refrigerator.

Garage Operation

Models with dual temperature control have an adjustable
freezer control and can be operated in locations with
ambient temperatures between 38-110°F (3.3-43.3°C).
For cold ambient conditions 38-54°F (3.3-12.2°C) the
fresh food should be set to setting 2 to prevent food from
freezing in the fresh food compartment, and the freezer
setting should be adjusted to position 5 to prevent food
from thawing in the freezer compartment.

Sabbath mode requires that the control knob and light

is held down, turn the control knob to position 3. Once
the control knob is in position 3, release the light
switch. When you release the light switch, the light will
