Tips on saving energy
• Locate your refrigerator in the coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool before placing them in your refrigerator. Overloading your
refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly
may lose quality or spoil.
CAUTION:
Make sure that the door gaskets are completely dry before you plug your
refrigerator into the power outlet.
CAUTION
: Use extreme caution with children. Your refrigerator shouldn’t be accessible to
child's play. If a child is trapped inside your refrigerator, the child may suffocate.
