SETTING THE CONTROLS

Your refrigerator has only one control for regulating the temperature in the fresh food and in the
freezer compartment. It is located on the upper right side of the lower section.
When the refrigerator is plugged in for the first time, set the control to 3. Temperature control
adjustments range from 1 (warmest) to 6 (coldest).
In a day or two, you may decide if the control is set correctly. The setting indicated above
should be correct for normal, household refrigerator usage. If you use the freezer section often,
set the control to 6. The number six setting is recommended for short term usage only. The
controls will be set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.
You will find on pages 6 &7 some suggestions for storing fresh or frozen food.

When there is excessive frost in the deep freezer section, from time to time you may have to
defrost this section as follows:

First, run the temperature control to the coldest setting for about 12 hours; this way when you
remove the food out. they will be protected during the period of defrosting. Then unplug the
refrigerator and use the plastic spatula supplied with It to clean the frost. Never remove the ice
with a sharp or pointed object. Let the ice melt by Itself.

After the ice and frost melts, dry the water with a sponge and/or a paper towel. Place the food
previously removed.
