Your refrigerator has two controls that let you regulate the
temperature in the fresh food and freezer compartments.
INITIALLY, set the FRESH FOOD control at 5 and the
FREEZER control at C.
For colder or warmer temperatures, adjust the desired
compartment control one letter or number at a time.
IMPORTANT:
When initially setting the controls or when adjusting
them, allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabilize, or
even out.
Note: Turning the fresh food control to “O” stops
cooling in BOTH compartments—fresh food
AND freezer.

Energy Saver Switch
The Energy Saver Switch is located on the upper left side
of the fresh food compartment.
To reduce the amount of electricity required to
operate your refrigerator, push switch to the
NORMAL position.
This turns off heaters in your
refrigerator that prevent moisture from forming on
the outside.
With the heaters turned off, there is a chance that 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 outside 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 and Cleaning section.
When the Energy Saver Switch is pushed to the

conditions, prevent the forming of moisture or

No Defrosting
It is not necessary to defrost the freezer or fresh food
compartments. Your refrigerator is designed and equipped
