Locate 

the 

refrigerator 

in 

the 

coolest 

part 

of 

the 

room, 

out 

of 

direct 

sunlight 

and

away 

from 

heating 

ducts 

or 

registers. 

Do 

not 

place 

the 

refrigerator 

next 

to 

heat-

producing 

appliances 

such 

as 

range, 

oven 

or 

dishwasher. 

If 

this 

is 

not 

possible,

a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the two
appliances 

will 

help 

the 

refrigerator 

operate 

more 

efficiently.

Level 

the 

refrigerator 

so 

the 

doors 

close 

tightly.

Refer 

to 

this 

Owner's 

Guide 

for 

the 

suggested 

refrigerator 

settings.

Periodic 

cleaning 

of 

the 

condenser 

will 

help 

the 

refrigerator 

run 

more

efficiently. 

See 

Outside 

in 

the 

"Care 

and 

Cleaning" 

section.

Do 

not 

overcrowd 

the 

refrigerator 

or 

block 

cold 

air 

vents. 

Doing 

so 

causes

the 

refrigerator 

to 

run 

longer 

and 

use 

more 

energy. 

Shelves 

should 

not 

be 

lined

with 

aluminum 

foil, 

wax 

paper 

or 

paper 

toweling. 

Liners 

interfere 

with 

cold 

air

circulation, 

making 

the 

refrigerator 

less 

efficient, 

which 

could 

cause 

food

spoilage.

Cover 

foods 

and 

wipe 

containers 

dry 

before 

placing 

them 

in 

the 

refrigerator.

This 

cuts 

down 

on 

moisture 

build-up 

inside 

the 

unit.

Organize 

the 

refrigerator 

to 

reduce 

door 

openings. 

Remove 

as 

many 

items 

as

needed 

at 

one 

time 

and 

close 

the 

door 

as 

soon 

as 

possible.

Energy Saving Ideas

Setting 

the 

Controls

Cool Down Period

To 

ensure 

safe 

food 

storage, 

allow 

the 

refrigerator 

to 

operate 

with 

the 

doors 

closed

for 

at 

least 

to 

12 

hours 

before 

loading 

with 

food.

Refrigerator 

and 

Freezer 

Controls

To 

start 

out, 

set 

control 

dials 

to 

the 

midpoint 

for 

trial 

period 

of 

24 

hours.

Temperatures

After 

24 

hours, adjust 

the 

controls 

as 

needed. 

Adjust 

temperatures 

one

number 

at 

time. 

For 

colder 

temperatures, 

turn 

the 

dial 

toward 

COLDEST.

For 

warmer 

temperatures, 

turn 

the 

dial 

toward 

COLD. 

The 

temperature 

will

increase 

or 

decrease, 

but 

not 

necessarily 

by 

1, 

2, 

or 

degrees.

An 

adjustment 

made 

to 

one 

compartment 

may 

require 

an 

adjustment 

to 

the 

other.

Turning 

the 

refrigerator 

control 

will 

change 

the 

temperature 

in 

BOTH

compartments. 

If 

the 

refrigerator 

control 

is 

turned 

to 

OFF, 

cooling

stops in both compartments.

Turning 

the 

freezer 

control 

will 

change 

only 

the 

temperature 

in 

the 

freezer

compartment.

To 

maintain 

temperatures, 

fan 

circulates 

air 

in 

the 

refrigerator 

and 

freezer

compartments. 

For 

good 

circulation, 

do 

not 

block 

cold 

air 

vents 

with 

food 

items.

Energy Saver Switch 

(some models)

If 

your 

refrigerator 

is 

equipped 

with 

an 

Energy 

Saver 

Switch, 

keep 

it 

set 

on 

ENERGY

SAVER 

for 

lowest 

energy 

usage.

Moisture

During 

humid 

weather, 

or 

if 

moisture 

appears 

on 

the 

cabinet 

between 

the 

doors,

set switch to REDUCE EXTERIOR MOISTURE. A heater will warm the surface and

allow 

moisture 

to 

evaporate.
