Control - GE 12 Owner's Manual

About the control on the refrigerator.
The temperature control on your refrigerator regulates the
temperature in the fresh food and freezer compartments.
Initially set the control at 5.
Control Settings
The temperature control maintains the temperature in both the fresh food and freezer compartments.
Setting 1 is the warmest setting and 9 is the coldest. Moving the control to OFF
areas—fresh food and freezer—but does not shut off power to the refrigerator.
How To Test Temperatures
Use the milk test for the fresh food compartment. Place a container of milk on the top shelf
and check it a day later. If the milk is too warm or too cold, adjust the temperature control.
Use the ice cream test for the freezer compartment. Place a container of ice cream in the
center of the freezer and check it after a day. If it's too hard or too soft, adjust the
temperature control.
After changing the control, allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.
About the storage drawers.
Fruit and Vegetable Drawers
One or more storage drawers provide space to store
fruits, vegetables and meats.
Models with a single full-width drawer have a divider
to separate meats and vegetables. The divider can be
removed if a single large storage space is needed.
If you want colder or warmer temperatures, move the dial
one number at a time.

The drawer will stop before coming all the way out
of the refrigerator to help prevent contents from
spilling onto the floor. It can be removed easily
by lifting up slightly and pulling past the "stop"
position.
To replace the drawer and the cover above it, the
door must be fully opened. In some installations the
refrigerator may have to be moved away from the
wall for the door to be fully opened.
