Starting the Refrigerator (continued)

Temperature Controls

Your refrigerator has two contrals 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 time or adjusting them later Then, if you want colder or warmer

temperatures in either compartment, adiust 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

compartment Check it after a day If it'stoo hard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls

Turning your household thermostat below 60 °Fo (16°C.) at night? You may want to move the Freezer control one step colder, as from "C" to "D" Cooler temperatures in the house may cause the compressor to operate less frequently, thus aflowing 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 long as you keep your thermostat turned down

Moving the Freezer control to a colder settihg should have no effect on your fresh food compartmenL However, if freezing occurs, turn the numbered control one step warmer, as from "5" to "4"

When you stop !urning the household thermostat down at night, turn the refrigerator !emperature controls back to their regular settings
