INITIALLY,set the FRESH

FOOD control at 5 and the

FREEZER control at C.

For colder or warmer temperatures, adjust the desired compartment controlone letteror numberat a time.

IMPORTANT

When initially setting the controls or when adjujting thin, allow 24 hours for the temperatures to stabiiize, or even out.

Note: Turning the fresh food control to the OFF position stops cooling in BOTHcompartments— fresh food AND freezer—but does not shut off power to the refrigerator.

To protect your frozen food supply, leave your lettered setting at this colder setting for the entire winter or for whateverperiod of time you are turning down your thermostat. This is especially important when the thermostat is turned down for an extendedperiod.

This change should have no effect on your fresh food compartment. However, if freezing occurs, turn the numbered control one step warmer, as from “5” to “4V
