Becauseof potential safety hazards under cer-
tain conditions, we strongly recommend
against the useof anadapter plug. However. if
you still elect to use an adapter, where local
codes permit, aTEMPOmy coNNEc-
TION may be made to aproperly grounded
two-prongwall receptacle by the use of aUL
listed adapter which is available at most local
hardware stores (Fig.5).The larger slot in the
adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in
the wall receptacle to provide proper polarity
in the connection of the power cord.
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground ter-
minal to the wall receptacle cover screw docs

IEMPERAT’LJRE CONTROLS
Yourrefrigerator has dual temperature
controlsforthe freezerand the fresh food
compartments(Fig.6).
Initiallyset the Freezer control at “C”and
the FreshFoodcontrol at “5?
Forcolder FreshFood compartment,leave
theFreezercontrolat “C”andsetthe Fresh
Foodcontrolat “6”or “7:’
For coldest Fresh Food compartment, set
the Freezer control at “B”and the Fresh
Foodcontrolat “8”or “9?
Forcolder Freezer+set the Freezercontrol
at “D”and the Fresh Food control at “7”
or “8:’
ForwarmerFreshFoodcompartment,leave
theFreezercontrolat “C”andsetthe Fresh

After adjustingthe temperature controls,
allow24hoursfortemperaturestostabilize.
Note: Turning the Fresh Food control to
“O”alsoturnsoffrefrigerationinthe Freez-
er compartment.
@ide To ProperTemperatures:
If acontainer of milk is too warm or too
cold to your taste after being on the top
shelf in the Fresh Food compartment for
aday, adjust the Cold Control Dials
accordingly.
Ifagallonofice cream remainsfirm to the
touch after beingin the Freezer for aday,
the Cold Control Dials are at the proper
setting. If the ice cream’sfirmness is not
to yourliking,adjustthe dialsaccordingly.
Check aday after resetting either dial to

perature youdesire.
If you advance the Freezer compartment

particularly in hot, humidweather.
.Store only foods requiring refrigeration
in your refrigerator.
oWipe all moisture from bottles and car-

tor, and keep all foods covered to reduce
moisture build-upinside.

TIPS ON FREEZING FOODS
There are three essential requirements for
efficient homefreezing.First, of course. is
initial quality. Only top-quality foods
should be frozen. Freezing retains quality
and flavor;it cannot improve quality. Sec-
ond is speed. The quicker fruits and vege-
tables are frozen after picking, the better
thefrozenproductwillbe.You’llsave time.
too, because lesscullingand sortingwillbe
necessary.The third requirement is proper
packaging.Use foodwraps designed espe-
ciallyforfreezing;they’rereadily available
in awide selection at your favorite store.
Limit freezing offresh (unfrozen)meats o]
seafoods to 21pounds at atime.
