Caloric "A" Series - Setting Controls; Thermostatic Control; Refrigerator and Freezer Controls

Setting Controls
This refrigerator is designed to operate most
efficiently under normal household
temperatures ranging from 55° to 110°F
(12° to 43°C).
Thermostatic Control
Thermostatic control is located in center divider
between refrigerator and freezer sections and
operates independently of freezer control. A
hidden thermostatic sensor measures
refrigerator air temperature constantly. If
temperature rises as little as 1 1/2°F (.8°C) from
setting, thermostatic control lets in more cold
air.
Refrigerator and Freezer controls
Locate refrigerator and freezer controls
at center divider between refrigerator and
freezer.
When freezer control is set to “Off”, neither
refrigerator nor freezer sections will cool.
Initially set both controls to “4”. Wait 24 hours
for refrigerator and freezer to reach desired
temperatures. After 24 hours, adjust controls
as desired. ”1" is warmest setting and ”7" is
coldest.
To set temperatures more precisely, use a
household thermometer that includes
temperatures between -5° to 50°F
(-20.5° to 10°C). Thermometer can be
purchased at a hardware store.
In freezer put thermometer snugly between
frozen food packages. Wait 5-8 hours. If
temperature is not 0° to 2°F (-18° to -17°C),
adjust control, one number at a time. Check
again after 5-8 hours.
In refrigerator put thermometer in a glass of
water. Place glass on shelf in middle of
refrigerator. Wait 5-8 hours. If temperature is
not 38° to 40°F (3° to 4°C), adjust control, one
number at a time. Check again after 5-8
hours.
Exterior Moisture Control
In hot humid conditions, refrigerators form
moisture around doors, similar to condensation
that forms on a cold glass. Special heaters in
refrigerator cabinet minimize condensation.
Humidity is subjective depending on location of
refrigerator. If refrigerator is in a warm, humid
area, set control to "On". If refrigerator is in a
cooler, less humid area, set control to "Off".
Setting may need to be adjusted as conditions
change.
Important
High quality steel is used in this refrigerator.
However, constant exposure to moisture may
cause refrigerator cabinet to rust. Anytime
moisture forms on refrigerator cabinet, set
control to "On".
