do it safely. Please read the enclosed safety
booklet from the Association of Home
Appliance Manufacturers. Help prevent
accidents.
Never allow children to operate, play with, or
crawl inside the refrigerator.

Never clean refrigerator parts with flammable
fluids. The fumes can create a fire hazard or

2. Set the Freezer Control to B.
Freezer Control adjustments range from A
(warmest) to C (coldest).
3. Give the refrigerator time to cool down com-
pletely before adding food. This may take
several hours.
The settings indicated above should be
correct for normal, household refrigerator
usage. The controls will be set correctly when
milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice
cream is firm. If you need to adjust these
settings, see “Changing the control settings” on
page 8.
NOTE: The Automatic Exterior Moisture control
continuously guards against moisture build-up on
the outside of your refrigerator cabinet. This
control does not have to be set or adjusted.
