ENERGY SAVING TIPS
- Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of a dry and ventilated roam, 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.
- Level the refrigerator so the door closes tightly.
- 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 unit less efficient.
- Wipe bottles and containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build- 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.
TEMPERATURE CONTROLS
Cool Down Period
For best performance, allow 4 hours for the refrigerator to cool down completely. The refrigerator will run continuously for the first several hours.
Temperature Control
The temperature control is located inside the refrigerator and in the freezer compartment on some models. The temperature is factory preset to provice satisfactory food storage temperatures. However, the temperature control is adjustable to provide a range of temperatures for your personal satisfaction.
To adjust the temperature colder, tum the control knob toward the “Colder” setting or higher number for the fresh food control and the slide control toward the “Colder” setting for the freezer control. After each movement, allow 24 hours for the unit to adjust. If the unit is still not cold enough, repeat until desired temperature is achieved.
To adjust the temperature warmer, tum the control knob toward the “Cold” setting or lower number for the fresh food control and the slide control toward the “Cold” setting for the freezer control. After each movement, allow 24 hours for the unit to adjust. If the unit is still not warm enough, repeat until desired temperature is achieved.
