Then…
❿
Modern refrigerators with more storage
space require more operating time.
❿
The motor will run longer under warm
conditions. At normal room
temperatures, expect your motor to
run about 40% to 80% of the time.
Under warmer conditions, expect it to
run even more often.
❿
Adding food and opening the door
warms the refrigerator. It is normal for
the refrigerator to run longer in order to
cool the refrigerator back down. Adding
a large amount of food warms the
refrigerator. See the
Food Storage
Guide
section on page 20. In order to
conserve energy, try to get everything
you need out of the refrigerator at once,
keep food organized so it is easy to find
and close the door as soon as the food
is removed.
❿
The refrigerator will take up to 24
hours to cool completely.
