Controls
This refrigerator operates at household temperatures of
55° to 110°F (13° to 43°C).
Exterior Moisture Control
Exterior Mositure Control is located on center divider
between refrigerator and freezer sections.
In humid conditions, refrigerators form condensation
around doors. Special heaters in refrigerator cabinet
minimize condensation.
Humidity depends on location of refrigerator. Set control to
ON if refrigerator is in a humid area or whenever moisture
is evident around doors. Set control to OFF if refrigerator
is in a less humid area. Setting can be adjusted as
conditions change.
High quality steel is used in this refrigerator. However,
constant exposure to moisture may cause refrigerator
cabinet to rust. Set control to ON anytime condensation
forms on refrigerator cabinet.
Setting Controls
Set controls precisely with a household thermometer that
includes temperatures between -5° to 50°F
(-21° to 10°C).
Put thermometer snugly between frozen packages in
freezer section. Wait 5-8 hours. If freezer temperature is
not 0° to 2°F (-17° to -16°C), adjust control, 1 number at a
time. Check again after 5-8 hours.
Put thermometer in a glass of water in middle of
refrigerator section. Wait 5-8 hours. If refrigerator
temperature is not 38° to 40°F (3° to 4°C), adjust control,
1 number at a time. Check again after 5-8 hours.
Refrigerator and Freezer Controls
Refrigerator and freezer controls are located on center
divider between refrigerator and freezer sections.
When freezer control is set to OFF, neither refrigerator nor
freezer sections will cool. Initially, set both controls to 4.
Wait 24 hours for refrigerator and freezer sections to
reach desired temperatures. After 24 hours, adjust
controls, one number at a time, as desired. 1 is warmest
setting and 7 is coldest.

Commandes
Ce réfrigérateur fonctionne de façon plus efficace lorsque
la température ambiante se situe entre 55o et 110 oF (13
oC à 43 oC).
Commandes du Réfrigérateur et du
Congélateur
Les commandes du réfrigérateur et du congélateur sont
situées sur la cloison centrale séparant ces deux parties.
Lorsque la commande congélateur est en position OFF
(ARRÊT), ni l’un ni l’autre des compartiments
Réfrigérateur ou congélateur ne refroidiront. Au départ,
régler ces deux commandes sur 4. Attendre 24 heures
avant que les compartiments réfrigérateur et congélateur
n’aient atteint les températures désirées. Après 24
heures, régler les commandes sur les valeurs désirées,
un chiffre à la fois. Le réglage le plus chaud est 1, tandis
que 7 est le réglage le plus froid.
Réglage des commandes
Régler les commandes avec précision à l’aide d’un
thermomètre domestique dont les températures se situent
entre -5o et 50 oF (-21o et 10 oC).
Placer le thermomètre entre les emballages congelés
dans le compartiment Congélateur. Attendre 5 à 8 heures.
Si la température congélateur ne se situe pas entre 0o et
2 oF (-17o et -16 oC), régler la commande, un chiffre à la
fois. Vérifier de nouveau après 5 à 8 heures.
Placer le thermomètre dans un verre d’eau au milieu du
compartiment réfrigérateur. Attendre 5 à 8 heures. Si la
température du compartiment Réfrigérateur ne se situe
pas entre 38o et 40 oF (3o et 4 oC), régler la commande,
un chiffre à la fois. Vérifier de nouveau après 5 à 8 heures.
Contrôle de l’humidité extérieure
Le contrôle de l’humidité extérieure se situe sur le
séparateur central entre les sections réfrigérateur et
congélateur.
Dans des conditions humides, le réfrigérateur produit de
la condensation autour des portes. Un appareil de
chauffage spécial dans le meuble du réfrigérateur
minimise la condensation.
L’humidité dépend de l’emplacement du réfrigérateur.
Réglez le contrôle à ON (Marche) si le réfrigérateur est
situé dans un endroit humide ou lorsqu’il y a des traces
d’humidité autour des portes. Réglez le contrôle à OFF
(Arrêt) si le réfrigérateur est situé dans un endroit moins
humide. Les réglages peuvent être modifiés selon les
conditions.
De l’acier de qualité supérieure est utilisé dans la
fabrication de ce réfrigérateur. Cependant, une exposition
constante à l’humidité peut provoquer la corrosion du
meuble du réfrigérateur. Réglez le contrôle sur la position
ON (Marche) dès que de la condensation se forme sur le
meuble du réfrigérateur.
