Saving Energy
You can help your appliance use less electricity with these simple tips:
• 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 will not have to search for what you want. Close door as soon as food is removed.
•
DO NOT
overcrowd the unit so air movement is blocked.
•
DO NOT
set the unit to temperature colder than necessary.
Vacation Tip
When you will be gone from home a short time (less than four weeks), there is no need to shut off your refrigerator. However,
be sure to:
• Use any perishables.
• Freeze other items.
• Raise the signal arm in the automatic ice maker to the off (up) position and shut off water supply to the ice maker.
If you will be away from home for a month or more, follow these guidelines:
• Remove all food and ice.
• Turn the power disconnect switch to the off position.
• Clean the unit and door gaskets according to the “Cleaning and Maintenance” chart on page 15.
• Prop doors open with rubber or wood blocks so air can circulate inside. This will keep odor and mold from building up.
• Raise the signal arm in the automatic ice maker to the off (up) position and shut off water supply to the ice maker.
Power Interruptions
If electric service to your freezer will be interrupted for 24 hours or less, keep the doors to the freezer closed. This helps food
stay frozen.
If service will be interrupted longer than 24 hours, remove all frozen food and store it in a frozen food locker, or place two
pounds of dry ice inside the freezer for every cubic foot of interior volume. This will keep food frozen for two to four days. Be
sure to wear gloves to protect your hands from dry ice burns. If neither a food locker or dry ice is available, you should use or
can your perishable food at once.

Door Stop Adjustment
Your refrigerator is factory set at the 110º door stop position. To change to either the 90° or 120° position, remove the door
stop pin using a 3/16” (0.5 cm) allen wrench.
