old one didn't. Because the sounds are new to
you, you might be concerned about them. Don't
be. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces like the floor, walls and cabinets can
make the sounds seem louder.
The following describes the kinds of sounds
that might be new to you, and what may be
making them.

Saving
energy
You can help your refrigerator use less electricity.
. Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the
cabinet to be sure of a good seal.
l
Clean the condenser coils regularly.
l
Open the door as few times as possible. Think
about what you need before you open the door.
Get everything
out at one time. Keep food
organized so you won't have to search for what
you want. Close door as soon as food is
removed.
l
Go ahead and fill up the refrigerator, but don't
overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.
l
It is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator
and freezer to temperatures
colder than they
need to be. If ice cream is firm in the freezer
and drinks are as cold as your family likes
them, that's cold enough.
. Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat
source such as a range, water heater, furnace,
radiator or in direct sunlight.
