TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
5
The temperature controls in your refrigerator have letters and
numbers. Initially set the freezer control at “C” and the fresh food
control at “5.”
The fresh food control
maintains the temperatures
throughout the refrigerator.
Moving the fresh food control
to “OFF” stops cooling in both
areas—fresh food and freezer—
but does not shut off power to
the refrigerator.
The freezer control moves
a damper to change the
amount of cold air that moves
from the freezer to the fresh
food compartment.

Power Saver Switch How to Test Temperatures
The power saver switch is located on the temperature control panel.
To reduce the amount of electricity required to operate your
refrigerator, push switch to the POWER SAVER setting.
This turns off the unit in your refrigerator that prevents moisture
from forming on the outside.
With this unit turned off, moisture may form on the outside of your
refrigerator, especially when the weather is humid. The humidity is
most likely to be high in the summer, in the early morning hours, and
in homes which are not air conditioned.
Over an extended period of time, moisture that forms on the
refrigerator surface may cause deterioration of the paint finish. It will
be important to protect the finish by using appliance polish wax as
described in the Care & Cleaning section.
The cost to operate the low-wattage unit is about the same as it costs
to use two night lights.
When you move the power saver switch from the POWER
SAVER setting, low wattage electricity flows through the unit and
warms the outside of the refrigerator. Under most conditions, this
prevents the forming of moisture or water droplets.
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.
After changing the controls, always allow 24 hours for the
refrigerator to reach the temperature you have set.
If you turn your household thermostat below
60°F. (16°C.) at night…
…you may want to move the freezer control one
step colder. Cooler temperatures in the house may
cause the compressor to operate less frequently,
thus allowing the freezer compartment to warm
somewhat. To protect your frozen food supply,
leave the freezer setting at this colder setting for
the entire winter or for as long as you keep your
thermostat turned down.
Moving the freezer control to colder setting should have no effect on
your fresh food compartment. However, if freezing occurs, move the
fresh food control one step warmer.
When you stop turning the thermostat down, turn the refrigerators
controls back to their regular settings.
No Defrosting
It is not necessary to defrost the freezer or fresh food compartments.
Although your refrigerator is designed and equipped to defrost itself
automatically, some frost on packages is normal.
