refrigerator to run longer.
➢ Avoid adding too much warm food to
refrigerator at one time. This
overloads compartments and slows
rate of cooling.

or paper toweling as shelf liners. This
decreases air flow and causes
refrigerator to run less efficiently.
➢ A freezer that is
efficiently.
➢ Locate refrigerator in coolest part of
room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight,
or near heating ducts, registers, or
other heat producing appliances. If
this is not possible, isolate exterior by
using a section of cabinet or an
added layer of insulation.
➢ Refer to section in Use and Care
Guide on temperature controls for
recommended control settings.
➢ Clean door gaskets every three
months according to use and care
