With the heaters turned off,there is a chance that moisturemay form on the outside of your refrigerator, especially when the weatheris humid. The humidity is most likely to be high in the summer,in the early morning hours, and in homes which are not air conditioned.

Over an extended periodof time, moisture’that formson the outside may cause deteriorationof the paint finish. It will be importantto protect the finishby using appliance polish

as described on page12.

Your refrigerator hastwo controls that letyou regulate the temperature in the fresh food and freezer compartments.

INITIALLY, set the FRESH

FOOD control at5 and the

FREEZER controlat C.

For colder or warmer temperatures, adjust the desired compartment control one letter or number at time.

IMPORTANT

When initially setting the controls or when adjusting them, allow24 hours for the temperatures to stabilize, or even out.

Note: Turning the fresh food control to theOFF position stops cooling inBOTH compartments- fresh food AND freezer-but does not shutoff power to the refrigerator.

How to Test Temperatures

Use themilk test for the fresh food compartment. Place a containerof milk on the top shelf in the fresh food compartment. Check it day later. If the milkis too warmor too cold, adjust the temperature controls.

Use the ice cream testfor the freezer compartment.Place a container of ice cream inthe center of the freezer compartment. Check it after day. If it’s toohard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls.

Always allow24 hours for

the refrigerator to reach the temperature you set.

If you turn your household thermostat below60°F. at night

...you may want to turn thelettered control one step colder,as from “C” to “DI’Cooler temperatures in the house may cause the compressor to operate less frequently, thus allowing the freezer compartmentto warm somewhat. To protect your frozen food supply, leave yourlettered setting at this colder setting for the entire winteror for whatever period of time you are turning down your thermostat. This is especially important whenthe thermostat is turned down for an extended period.

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 ‘‘4;’

When you stop turning the thermostat down, turn temperature controls backto their regular settings.

Energy Saver Switch

The Energy Saver Switch is located on the temperature control panel.

To reduce the amount of electricity required to operate your refrigerator, push switch to the left position.

This turnsoff heaters in your refrigerator that prevent moisture from forming on the outside.

wax

When the Energy Saver Switch is pushed to the right,electricity flows through the low wattage heaters whichwarm the outside of the cabinet and, under most conditions, prevent the forming of moisture or water droplets.

No Defrosting

It is not necessary to defrost the freezer or fresh food compartments. Your refrigerator is designed and equipped to defrost itself automatically.
