Automatic
Energy
Saver System
You won't find an "energy saver
switch on this refrigerator
Warm liquid from the refrigerator's
condenser is automatically
circulated
around the front edge of the freezer
compartment
to help keep moisture
from forming on the outside of the
refrigerator
during humid weather.
Many refrigerators
use special
electric heaters This refrigerator
needs none Tha[s why there is no
"energy saver" switch
there's no
need for it
Your refrigerator
has two controls
that let you regulate the tempera-
ture in the fresh food and freezer
compartments
INITIALLY, set the FRESH FOOD
control at 5 and the FREEZER
control at Co
For colder or warmer temperatures,
adjust the desired compartment
con-
trol one letter or number at a time
IMPORTANT
When initially setting the controls or
when adjusting them, allow 24 hours
for the temperatures
to stabilize, or
even out,,
Note: Turning the fresh food control
to "OFF" turns off BOTH compart-
ments-fresh
food AN D freezer.
How to test temperatures
Use the milk test for the fresh food
compartment,
Place a container of
milkon 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
freezer compartment., Place a con-
tainer of ice cream in the center of
the freezer compartment.
Check it
after a day if it's too hard or too soft,
adjust the temperatu re controls
Always allow 24 hours for the refrig -
erator to reach the temperature
you set.
If you turn your
household
thermostat
below
60°F
at night
... you may want to turn the lettered
control one step colder, as from "C"
to "D" Cooler temperatures
in the
house may cause the freezer con-
trols to operate less frequently,
thus allowing the freezer compart-
ment to warm somewhat. To protect
your frozen food supply, leave your
lettered setting at this colder setting
for the entire winter or for whatever
period of time you are turning down
your thermostat. This is especially
important when the thermostat
is
turned down for an extended period
This change should have no
effect on your fresh food section
However, if freezing occurs, turn
the numbered control one step
warmer, as from "5" to "4"
When you stop turning the thermo-
stat down, turn temperature controls
back to their regular settings
No defrosting
It is not necessary to defrost the
freezer or fresh food compartments
Your refrigerator
is designed and
equipped to defrost itself
automatically
