to you. and what may be making them

l
Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the cab-
inet to be sure of a go& seal.
l
Clean the condenser coil regularly.
l
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 foods orga-
nized
so you
won’t have
to search
for what you
want. Close door
as
soon
as
food is removed.
l Go ahead
and fill up the refrigerator, but don’t
overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.

as cold as your family likes them, that’s cold
enough.
