Ene~y Saver System

You won’t find an “energy saver” switch on this refrigerat&.

Warm liquid from the refrigerator’s condenser is automatically circulated around the front edge of the freezer compartment 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.

Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate the temperature in the fresh food and freezer compartments.

INITIALLY, set the FRESH FOOD control at 5 and the

FREEZER control at C.

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

IMPORTANT

When your refrigerator is first installed, allow 24 hours for stabilization to normal operating temperature before filling it with large amounts of fresh or frozen foods.

Note: Turning the fresh food control to ’OFF” stops cooling in IWTH 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 fbod 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 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.

If you turn your

household thermostat below 60°F. 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 setting at this colder setting for the entire winter or for whatever period of time you are turning down your thermostat, This is especially important when the 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 “4V

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

No Defrosting

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