Energy Saving Ideas
• Locate the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and
away from heating ducts or registers Do not place the refrigerator next to
heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher If this is not
possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the 2
appliances will help the refrigerator operate more efficiently
• Leveethe refrigerator so the doors close tightly
• Refer to this Owner's Guide for the suggested refrigerator settings
• Periodic cleaning of the condenser will help the refrigerator run more
efficiently. See "Outside" in the Care and Cleaning section,
• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents Doing so causes
the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy Shelvesshould not be lined
with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling Liners interfere with cotd 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 buifd-up inside She 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

number at a time. For colder temperatures, turn the dia! toward COLDEST,
For warmer temperatures, turn the dial toward COLD The temperature wi!!
increase or decrease, but not necessarily by 1,2, or 3 degrees,
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_
o 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
