In humid conditions, refrigerators form condensation
around doors. Special heaters in refrigerator cabinet
minimize condensation.
Humidity depends on location of refrigerator. Set control to
ON if refrigerator is in a humid area or whenever moisture
is evident around doors. Set control to OFF if refrigerator
is in a less humid area. Setting can be adjusted as
conditions change.
High quality steel is used in this refrigerator. However,
constant exposure to moisture may cause refrigerator
cabinet to rust. Set control to ON anytime condensation
forms on refrigerator cabinet.
