Starting the Refrigerator (continued)

Temperature Controls

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

At first, set the Fresh Food control at "5" and the Freezer control at "C'(

Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize, whether you are setting the controls for the first lime or adjusting them later. Then, if you want colder or warmer

temperatures in either compartment, adjust the controls one letter or number at a time

NOTE: Turning the Fresh Food control to OFF turns off cooling in both compartments-fresh food and freezer- but does not shut off power to the refrigerator

How to test temperatures:

Use milk test for 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 ice cream test for freezer compartment. Place a container of ice cream in the center of the

freezer compartmenL Check it after a day tf it'stoo hard or too soft, adiust the temperature controls.

If you turn your household thermostat below 60°1:, at

night...you may want to move the freezer control one step colder Cooler temperatures in the house may cause the compressor to operate tess frequently, thus allowing the

freezer compartment to warm somewhat, To protect your frozen food supply, leave the freezer setting at this colder setting for the entire winter or for as long as you keep your thermostat turned down

Moving the freezer control to a colder setting should have no effect on your fresh food compartment. However, if freezing occurs, move the fresh food control one step warmer

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

Fresh Food Storage Tips

To store unfrozen meats, fish and poultry:

•Always remove store wrappings

•Rewrap in bil, film or wax paper and refrigerate immediately

To store cheese, wrap well with wax paper or aluminum foil, or put in a plastic bag.

• Carefully wrap to expel air and help prevent mold

"Store pre-packaged cheese in its own wrapping if you wish

To store vegetables, use the vegetable drawers- they've been designed to preserve the natural moisture and freshness of produce

"Covering vegeables with a moist towel helps maintain crispness.

•As a further aid to freshness, pre-packaged vegetables can be stored in their original wrapping,
