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

freezer compartment. Place aF 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.

Power Saver Switch

The power saver switch is located on the temperature control panel.

To reduce the amount of electricity required to operate your refrigerator, push switch to POWER SAVER setting.

This turns off the heater in your refrigerator that prevents moisture from forming on the outside of the refrigerator.

With the heater turned off, there is a chance that moisture may form on the 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 and Cleaning section.

Move the power saver switch from the POWER SAVER setting and electricity flows through the low wattage heater which warms the outside of the refrigerator. Under most conditions, this prevents the forming of moisture or water droplets.

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.
