Your refrigerator has an Energy Saver Switch located on
the upper left side of the Fresh Food compartment.

tricity required to operate your
refrigerator, push switch to the
left to the NORMAL position.
This turns off heaters in your refrigerator that prevent mois-
ture from forming on the outside.
Use of this switch can save you money. Estimated yearly
savings, depending on your local electric rates, are as

With the heaters turned off, there is a chance that moisture
may form on the outside of your refrigerator, especially
when the weather is humid. The humidity is most likely to
be high in the summer, in the eariy morning hours, and in
homes which are not air conditioned.
Over an extended period of time, moisture that forms on
the outside may cause deterioration of the paint finish. It
will be important to protect the finish by using appliance
polish wax as described on page 7.
When the Energy Saver Switch
is pushed to the right, electricity
flows through the low wattage
heaters which warm the outside
of the cabinet and, under most conditions, prevent the
forming of moisture or water droplets.
