Firmly plug the cord into a live outlet
with proper voltage (refer to Electrical &
Grounding Requirements).

time but use less energy due to more
technology.
conditions. At normal room temperatures
(70°F) expect your compressor to run about
40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer
conditions, expect it to run even more often.
The refrigerator should not be operated in
surrounding temperatures above 110°F.
Adding food and opening the door warms the
refrigerator, requiring the compressor to run
longer in order to cool the refrigerator back
down. In order to conserve energy, try to get
everything you need out of the refrigerator
at once, keep food organized so it is easy to
and close the door as soon as the food is
removed. (Refer to the Food Storage Guide.)

cool completely.
See the Adjusting Control Settings section.
Firmly push the doors shut. If they will not

This prevents air transfer and makes the motor
work harder. Clean the back cover. Refer to
the Care and Cleaning section.
Clean the gaskets and the surfaces that they
touch. Rub a thin coat of appliance polish or
kitchen wax on the gaskets after cleaning.
When you open the door, warmer air enters
the refrigerator. As the warm air cools, it can
create a vacuum. If the door is hard to open,
wait one minute to allow the air pressure to
equalize, then see if it opens more easily.
