l

On hot

the

room

IS warm,

the

motor

 

naturally

runs longer

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

l

If the

door

Interior

 

 

 

 

Remember: Motor running time depends on drf-

ferent things: number of door openings, amount of

food stored, temperature of the room, setting of the controls

And, your new refrigerator may be larger than your old one so tt has more space to be cooled. It also has a regular freezer instead of a frozen food

compartment. All thts means better refrrgeration and may require more running time than your old one
