Vacation and Moving Care
• For long vacations or absences, empty food from refrigerator and
freezer, move the temperature dial to the OFF position and clean the
refrigerator and door gaskets according to "General Cleaning" section.
Prop doors open, so air can circulate inside.When moving, always move
the refrigerator vertically. Do not move with the unit lying down. Possible
damage to the sealed system could occur.
Energy Saving Tips
• The refrigerater should be located in the coolest area of the room, away
from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct
sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator.
Overloading the refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer and
thus increases energy consumption. Foods that refrigerate too slowly
may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing
in the refrigerator.
• The wire shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper,
or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the
refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove
as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as
possible.
