a section of cabinetry or an added layerof insulation between the two appliances
will help the refrigerator operate more efficiently

• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents Doing so causes the
refrigerator to run longer and use more energy Shelves should not be lined with
aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling Liners interfere with cold air
circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food
spoilage
• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator This
cuts down on moisture buitd-up inside the unit
. Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings Remove as many items as
needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible

Refrigerator Control
, Set the refrigerator control dial to the midpoint for a trial period of 24 hours
o After 24 hours, adjust the control as needed For colder temperatures, turn the
dial toward COLDEST° Forwarmer temperatures, turn the dial toward COLD.

or decrease, but not necessarily by t, 2, or 3 degrees,
Freezer Control
Setthe freezer control to the midpoint of the dial for a trial period of 24
hours
• After 24 hours, adjust the control as needed For colder temperatures, turn
the dial a notch toward COLDEST Forwarmer temperatures, turn the dial a
notch toward COLD Adjust temperatures one notch at a time
An adjustment made to one compartment may require an adjustment to the other:
• Turning the refrigerator control will change the temperature in BOTH
compartments If the refrigerator control is turned to OFF, cooling stops
in both compartments,
° Turning the freezer control will change only the temperature in the freezer
compartment
To maintain temperatures, a fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer
compartments For good circulation, do not block cold air vents with food items
Energy Saver Switch (some models)
If your refrigerator isequipped with an Energy SaverSwitch, keep it set on ENERGY
SAVERfor lowest energy usage During humid weather, or if moisture appears on
the cabinet between the doors, set the control to REDUCEEXTERIORMOISTURE A
heater will warm the surface and allow the moisture to evaporate When humidity
lowers, or moisture disappears, return the switch to ENERGYSAVER
