• install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room,
out of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or
register& Do not place the refrigerator next to
heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven or
dish washer_ If this is not possible, a section of
cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the
two appliances will help the refrigerator' operate more
efficiently°
• Level the refrigerator' so the doors close tightly,
• Refer to this Owner's Guide for the suggested
refrigerator settings.
• Periodic cleaning of the condenser will help the
refrigerator run more efficiently° See Outside in the
"Care and Cleaning" section.
° Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air
vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer
and use more energy_ Shelves should not be lined with
aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator
less efficient, which could cause food spoilage.
• Cover foods and wipe container's dry before placing
them in the refrigerator.This cuts down on moisture
build-up inside the unit.

to be adjusted to a warmer one. Turning the refrigerator.....
control will change only the refrigerator temperature,
