FRESH FOOD CONTROL
Two conirois let you
regulate the temperature
in the fresh food ond
freezer compartments.
At first, set the fresh
food control ot “4" ond
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, odjust
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 temperotures;
Use milk test for fresh food comportment. Place
a container of milk on the top shelf in the fresh food
compartment. Check it a day later. If the milk is too
worm or too cold, adjust the temperature controls.
Use ke creom test lor freezer comportment.
Place a container of ice cream in the center of the
freezer compartment. Check it after a day. If it's too
hard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls.
Turning your household thermostot below
60®iF, ot night? You may want to turn the lettered
control one step colder, as from "C" to "D" Cooler
temperatures in the house may cause the compressor
to operofe less frequently, thus allowing the freezer
compartment to worm somewhat.
To protect your frozen food supply, leave your
lettered control at this new, colder setting for the
entire winter or for as long as you keep your
thermostat turned down.
Turning the lettered control to a colder setting
should have no effect on your fresh food
compartment. However, if freezing occurs,
turn the numbered control one step warmer,
as from "4" to "3'.'
When you stop turning the household thermostat
down at night, turn the refrigerator temperature
controls back to their regular settings.

REDUCTION SAVER r
Power Saver Switch
This switch is on the
temperature control panel.
To reduce the cimount
of electricity required
to operote your refrigerator, be sure the switch
is pushed to the right position. This turns off the
heater in your refrigerator that prevents moisture
from forming on the outside.
If moisture forms oe the outside of the
refrigerator, push the Power Saver Switch to
the left. The low-wattage heater will warm the
outside of the cabinet and, under most conditions,
prevent the forming of moisture or water droplets.
Food Storage Suggestions
Fr©sh Pood StoroQ© Tips
To store unfrozen meats, fish and poultry:
® Always remove store wrappings,
® Rewrap in foil, film or wax paper and refrigerote
immediately.
To store cheese, wrap well with wax paper or
aluminum foil, or put in a plastic bag.
® Carefully wrap to expel air and help prevent mold.
® Store pre-packoged cheese in its own wrapping if
you wish.
To store vegetables, use the vegetoble drawers—
they've been designed to preserve the naturol
moisture and freshness of produce,
^ Covering vegetables with a moist towel helps
maintain crispness.
® As a further aid to freshness, pre-packaged
vegetables can be stored in their original wrapping.
To store ice cream—Fine-quality ice cream, with
high cream content, will normally require slightly
lower temperatures than more “airy" already-
packaged brands with low cream content,
® It will be necessary to experiment to determine the
freezer compartment location and temperature
control setting to keep your ice cream at the right
serving temperature.
o The rear of the freezer comportment Is slightly
colder than the front.
