With the heater turned off, there
is a chance that moisture may form
on the outside of your refrigerator,
especially when the weather is
humid. The
hutidity
is most likely
to be high in the summer, in the
early morning hours, and in homes
which are not air conditioned.
Over an extended period of time,
moisture that forms on the outside
may cause deterioration of the paint
finish. It will be important to protect
the finish by using appliance polish
wax as described on page 10.
When the Energy Saver Stitch is
pushed to the right,
electricity flows
through the low wattage heater
which warms the outside of the cab-
inet and, under most conditions,
prevent the forming of moisture
or water droplets.
