TIPS
@
.
Keep energy saver switch on "Normal"
unless moisture forms on exterior of cabinet.
@Don't open doors more often than neces-
sary and close them as soon as possible,
particularly in hot, humid weather.
o Store only foods requiring refrigeration
in your refrigerator.
Wipe all moisture from bottles and car-
tons before putting them into the refriger-
ator, and keep all foods covered to reduce
moisture build-up inside refrigerator.
@Don't waste ice cubes by letting many
melt while using a few.
* If you turn control to coldest position for
quick chilling or freezing, don't forget to
turn it back to normal setting.
~ Don't overcrowd your refrigerator— over-
crowding can require extra electrical energy
to keep everything cool.
* Before leaving the house or retiring for
the night, check to be sure doors haven't
been left :ijar inadvertently.

hine will strike it if any other kitchen ar-
