Two controls let you regulate the temperature in the fresh food and freezer compartments.
At first, set both controis at "Initial Setting"
Allow 24 hours for the temperature to stobilize, whether you are setting the controls for the first time or adjusting them later. Then, if you want colder or warmer temperatures in either compartment, adjust the controIs one step at a time.
NOTE: Moving the fresh food control to OFF turns off cooling in both
How to Test Temperatures
Use the milk test for the fresh food
compartment° Piace a container of milk on the top shelf in the fresh food compartment Check it a day later, lfthe 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'stoo hard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls
Turning Your Household Thermostat Below 60°E at Night?
You may want to move the freezer control one slap colder. Cooler temperatures in the house may cause the compressor to operate less frequently, thus oltowing the freezer compartment to warm somewhat
To protect your frozen food supply, leave your freezer control at this new, colder setting for the entire winter or for as !ong 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 numbered control one step warmer
When you stop turning the household thermostat down at night, move the refrigerator temperature controls back to their regular settings.
