circulate around it See page 3 for recommended
minimum clearances..
' Don't open the doors more often than necessary.
" Close the doors as soon as possible, particularly in hot,
humid weather.
" Be sure the doors are closed tightly, Before leaving the
house or retiring for the night, check to be sure the doors
haven't been left open accidentally
° Store only those foods requiring refrigeration in your
refrigerator.
oWipe moisture from bottles and cartons before putting
them in the refrigerator
• Keep foods covered to reduce moisture buildup inside
the refrigerator
° If you turn the control to the coldest position for quick
chilling or freezing, be sure to turn it back to regular
setting

Cleaning section),
