POWER SAVIN

Give the refrigerator time to cool down com­pletely before adding food. (This may take sev­eral hours.)

These sefflngs should be about right for nor­mal household retrigerator usage.

The controls will be set about right when milk or
juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is
firm.

Do not block the air outlet on the control panel.

Blocking it can slow the air movement needed to

keep temperatures at the level you set.

l Adjust the Temperature Control first.
l Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments.
l Then adjust the Air Control, if needed.
