ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS

Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before adding

food to the refrigerator. The mid-settings indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household

refrigerator usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is cold to your liking and ice cream is firm.

The refrigerator control functions as the thermostat for the entire appliance. The higher the number setting, the longer the compressor will run to keep the temperature colder. The freezer control adjusts the cold air flow from the freezer to the refrigerator. Setting the freezer control

to a lower temperature keeps more cold air in the freezer

compartment to make it colder.

If you need to adjust the temperature in the refrigerator or freezer, begin by adjusting the refrigerator first. Wait

STORONG FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: For more information on how to prepare food to be frozen such in a way to see the period they can be stored consult a frozen food guide or cook book.

Packaging

A great freezing depends on how great you package the

food. When you seal the package make sure you remove

all excess air and do not allow humidity. A package that

is incorrectly sealed will result in the transmission of bad

odors, contaminants inside your refrigerator and will cause your foods to dry.
