Energy-Saver System; Temperature Controls - GE TFXA27f Use And Care Manual

Set the Temperature Controls
Two controls let you regulate the temperature in the
fresh food and freezer compartments.
At first, set the fresh food control to "5" and the
freezer control to "C".
Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize,
whether you are setting the controls for the first time
or adjust;ng them later: Then, if you want colder or
warmer temperatures in either compartment, adjust
the controls one step at a time.
Note: Moving the fresh food control to 0~
turns off coofing in both 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 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.
Automatic Energy-Saver System
You won't find an "energy-saver" switch on this
refrigerator.
Warm liquid from the refrigerator's condenser is
freezer com~artment 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. That's why there is no
"energy-saver" switch.. there's no need for it.
If you turn your household thermostat below 60°F. at night...
you may want to move the
freezer control one step colder.
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, lea;e the fr;ezer setting at this
colder setting for the entire winter or for as long as you
keep your thermostat turned down.

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 soft, adjust the temperature controls.
No Defrosting
It is not necessary to defrost the freezer or fresh food
compartments. Although your refrigerator is designed
and equipped to defrost itself automatically, some
frost on packages is normal.
Moving the freezer control to a colder setting should
have no effect on your fresh food compartment.
However, if freezing occurs, move the fresh food
control one step warmer.
When you stop turning the thermostat down, turn the
refrigerator's controls back to their regular settings.
