Two controls
let you
regulate
the temperature
in the fresh food and
freezer compartments.
At first, set the fresh
food control at "4" and
the freezer control at "C'.'
Allow 24 hours for the temperature
to stabilize,
whether
you are setting the controls for the first time
or adjusting
them later. Then, if you want colder or
warmer
temperatures
in either compartment,
adjust
the controls one letter or number
at a time_
Note: Turning the fresh food control to OFF turns
off cooling in both compartments--fresh
food and
freezer--but
does not shut off power to the
refrigerator.
How to test temperatures:
Use milk test for 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 ice cream test for 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 soft, adjust the temperature
controls.
Turning your household
thermostat
below
60°R 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 compressor
to operate less frequently, thus allowing the freezer
compartment
to warm somewhat°
To protect your frozen food supply, leave your
lettered control at this new, colder setting for the
entire winter or for as long as you keep your
thermostat
turned down°
Turning the lettered
control to a colder setting
should have no effect on your fresh food
compartment.
However, if freezing occurs,
turn the numbered control one step warmer,
as from "4" to "3:'
When you stop turning
the household
thermostat
down at night, turn the refrigerator
temperature
controls
back to their regular settings°
