Guide To Roper Temperatures:
If a container of milk is too warm or (OO
ccdd to your taste after being on the top
shelf in the Fresh Food compartment for
a day, adjust the Cold Control Diafs
accordingly,
If a gallon of ice cream remains firm to the
touch after being in the Freezer for a day,
the Cold Control Dials are at the proper
setting. If the ice cream’s firmness is not
to your liking, adjust the dials accordingly.
Check
a day after resetting either dial to
make sure new setting is providing the tem-
perature you desire.
If you advance the Freezer compartment
Cold Control Dial to “E” to freeze a quick
supply of ice cubes or a large amount of
food, be sure to reset the dial to its previous setting within a day.
This moisture can be expected only when
the weather ishumid and if your kitchen is
not air conditioned. The switch should be
left on the “normal” position to save power
except when moisture does form. Remenl-
ber to switch it back to normal when the
weather is no longer humid.
