• Unplug your refrigerator before cleaning and

making repairs. NOTE: We strongly recommend that
any servicing be performed by a qualified individual.

Before replacing a burned-out light bulb, unplug the

refrigerator or turn off power at the circuit breaker or
fuse box in order to avoid contact with a live wire
filament. (A burned-out light bulb may break when
being replaced.) NOTE: Turning control to “0”
position does not remove power to the light circuit.

• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.

Mains lead replacement

If the mains lead on your refrigerator needs replacing
at any time, it must be replaced by a special lead which
is obtainable from your local dealer. A charge will be
made for the replacement of the mains lead if you have
damaged the lead.

OPERATING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

Set the Temperature Controls

(appearance may vary)

Two controls let you regulate the temperature in the fresh food and
freezer compartments.

At first, set both the fresh food control and the freezer control to “5.”

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, adjust
the controls one step at a time.

NOTE: Moving the freezer control to the “0” position turns off
cooling in both compartments—fresh food and freezer—but does not
shut off power to the refrigerator.

NOTE: Internal temperature may be affected by such factors as the
location of the refrigerator, ambient temperature and frequency of
door openings. Adjust temperature controls as required to compensate
for these factors.

Use the milk test for the 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 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’s too hard or too soft, adjust the temperature controls.

Always allow 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the
temperature you set.
