2. Set the Freezer Control to B.
Give the refrigerator time to cool down completely
before adding food. (This may take several hours.)
These settings should be about right for normal
household refrigerator usage.
The controls will be set about right when milk
or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream
is firm.
