•Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning and making repairs. NOTE: We strongly recommend that any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

•Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, the refrigerator should be unplugged in order to avoid contact with a live wire filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when being replaced.)

NOTE: Turning control to “0” position does not remove power to the light circuit.

•Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Mains lead replacement

If the mains lead on your refrigerator needs replacing at any time, it must be replaced by a special lead which is obtainable from your local dealer. A charge will be made for the replacement of the mains lead if you have damaged the lead.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The temperature controls in your refrigerator have letters and numbers. Initially set the frozen food storage compartment control at “C” and the fresh food control at “4.”

Anti-Moisture Switch

The anti-moisture switch is located on the temperature control panel. To reduce the amount of electricity required to operate your refrigerator, push switch to the left.

This turns off the unit in your refrigerator that prevents moisture from forming on the inside or outside surfaces.

With this unit turned off, moisture may form on the inside or outside of your refrigerator, especially when the weather is 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 period of time, moisture that forms on the refrigerator surface may cause deterioration of the paint finish. It will be important to protect the finish by using appliance polish wax as described in the Care & Cleaning section.

The cost to operate the low-wattage unit is about the same as it costs to use two night lights.

When you move the anti-moisture switch to the right, low wattage electricity flows through the unit and warms the outside of the refrigerator and the top of the fresh food section. Under most conditions, this prevents the forming of moisture or water droplets.

No Defrosting

It is not necessary to defrost the frozen food storage compartment or fresh food compartments. Although your refrigerator is designed and equipped to defrost itself automatically, some frost on packages is normal.

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.

Use the ice cream test for the frozen food storage compartment. Place a container of ice cream in the center of the frozen food storage compartment. Check it after a day. If it’s too hard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls.

After changing the controls, always allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.
