How to use the COLD-CONTROL
Under normal conditions, your Frigidaire refrigerator will automatically provide the right temperature for keeping foods good to eat. However, for special purposes, temperatures which are lower than normal may be required. These are described below. The Cold-Control is located at the upper right hand corner of the food compartment. To change the setting of the Cold-Control, simply turn towards you for colder temperatures, away from you for warmer temperatures.
For normal use—Leave the Cold-Control on Number “1”. Even in hot summer weather this setting will be satisfactory because your Frigidaire refrigerator automatically adjusts itself for changes in kitchen temperatures.
For fast ice freezing—Set the Cold-Control on Number “7”. This provides fast freezing. After the ice has frozen, turn the Cold-Control back to its normal setting.
For freezing desserts, salads and other foods—Set the Cold-Control on Number “7,” until dessert or salad has frozen to the desired consistency. Then turn back to Number “3” or “4.” This will keep it at the proper temperature. Package foods to be frozen according to suggestions on page 8.
For keeping frozen foods—When you keep commercially frozen foods or commercial ice cream in the Super-Freezer, leave the Cold-Control on Number “3” or “4” as long as the foods are to be kept frozen. To thaw foods, place packages on one of the food compartment shelves for 24 to 48 hours. Remove entirely from the refrigerator for fast thawing.
Vacation Setting—When you’re away from home for a number of days and foods are to remain in your refrigerator, set the control on one of the economy positions “A,” “B,” or “C.” This will maintain a satisfactory temperature because the cabinet door will not be opened, and no warm foods will be placed in the food compartment. If no foods are to remain in the refrigerator, remove the electrical cord from the outlet, remove all foods and ice trays, and leave door open. This allows food compartment to air out.
