OperatingYourRefrigerator
It is not necessary to defrost the freezer or fresh food com-
partments. Your refrigerator is designed and equipped to
defrost itself automatically,

Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate the
temperature in the Fresh Food and Freezer compartments.

For coider Fresh Food compartment: set controls at “6;’

For warmer Fresh Food compartment: set controls at “4;’

fVote: Timing numbered controi to “OFF” turns off refrig-
eration in both Fresh Food and Freezer compartments.
After adjusting the temperature controls, allow 24 hours for
temperatures to stabilize. #
If you turn your household thermostat down to 60° each
evening, you may find it desirable to turn your lettered con-
trol to colder setting by one letter, such as from “C” to “!3”
and leave it at this setting during the entire period that you
are setting the household thermostat down each evening.
The numbered setting will not likely need to be changed;
however, if you experience freezing in Fresh Food compart-
ment, you could set the numbered control one number
warmer—such as “5” to “4:’
If a container of milk is too warm or too cold to your pref-
erence after being on top shelf in Fresh Food compartment
for a day, adjust Temperature Controls accordingly.
WhenFresh Food compartment temperature is satisfactory,
make the ice cream test. If ice cream remains firm to the
touch after being in Freezer compartment for a day, Tem-
perature Controls are at proper setting. If the ice cream’s
firmness is not to your liking, adjust controls accordingly,
Checka day after resetting either control to make surethe
new setting is providing the temperature you desire.
if you advance the /etfereo’ control to “E” to freeze a quick
supply of ice cubes or a large amount of food, be sure to
reset the control to its previous setting within a day,
Your refrigerator has an Energy Saver Switch located on
the upper left side of the
Fresh Food compartment

This turns off heaters in your refrigerator that prevent mois-
ture from forming on the outside.
Use of this switch can save YOUmoney. Estimated yearly
savings, depending cm

YOLIcan leave the Energy Saver Switch on NORMAL, but,
heaters used to prevent moisture from forming on the ex-
terior of the refrigerator will be turned off. Therefore, when
the weather is humid, there is a chance that moisture will
form on the outside of the refrigerator cabinet.
When it is very humid, enough moisture can form to cause
water droplets to run down the cabinet exterior. The hu-
midity is most likely to be high in the summer, in the early
morning hours, and in homes which are not air conditioned,
This moisture may not be objectionable to you. However,
over extended periods it is possible that the moisture can
cause deterioration to the painted finish of the cabinet.
When the Energy Saver Switch
k pushed to the right, electricity
flows through the low wattage
heaters which warm the exterior
of the cabinet and, under most conditions, prevent the
forming of moisture ar water droplets.
Youma~find it most desirableto mow?the Energ~Saver Switch fo the
right only in very humidweatherandleave the switch on AK3RMALthe
remainderof the time, evenif somemoistureforms from time to time.
