Go ahead and till up the refrigerator, but don’t overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.

It is a waste of electricii to set the refrig- erator temperature colder than it needs to be. lf ice cream is firm in the freezer and drinks are as cold as your family likes them, that’s wfd enough.

Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat source such as a range, water heater, furnace, radiator or in direct sunlight.
