Modern refrigerators with more storage space require
more operating time.
The motor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal
room temperatures, expect your motor to run about 40% to
80% of the time. Under warmer conditions, expect it to run
even more often. This model is still more energy efficient
than previous models.
Adding food and opening the door warms the
refrigerator. It is normal for the refrigerator to run longer
in order to cool the refrigerator back down. Adding a
large amount of food warms the refrigerator. See the
FOOD STORAGE GUIDE section. In order to conserve
energy, try to get everything you need out of the
refrigerator at once, keep food organized so it is easy to
find and close the door as soon as the food is removed.
The refrigerator will take up to 24 hours to cool
completely.
See the ADJUSTING CONTROL SETTINGS Section.
Push the doors firmly shut. If they will not shut all the
way, see Doors Will Not Close Completely in page 29.
