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 two appliances will help the refrigerator operate more efficiently.

•Level the 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. 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 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.

Cool Down Period

To ensure safe food storage, allow the refrigerator to operate with the doors closed for at least 8 to 12 hours before loading with food.

Refrigerator Control

•The refrigerator control should be set at 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. For warmer temperatures, turn the dial a notch toward COLD. Adjust temperatures by one increment at a time.

Freezer Control

•The freezer control should be set at 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. For warmer temperatures, turn the dial a notch toward COLD. Adjust temperatures by one increment at a time.

NOTE: When first setting the controls or when changing a setting, wait 24 hours for the temperature to stabilize before making additional changes.

Turning the freezer control may change temperatures in both compartments. For example, if the freezer control is turned to a colder setting, the refrigerator control may have to be adjusted to a warmer one. Turning the refrigerator control will change only the refrigerator temperature.

IMPORTANT: If the freezer control is turned to OFF, cooling stops in both compartments.

You may hear the "Frost Free" system working. A fan circulates air in the refrigerator and freezer compartments. For good circulation and maintenance of proper cooling temperatures, do not block cold air vents with food items. Water draining into the defrost water pan and hissing sounds are normal during the automatic "Frost Free" cycle.
