• Install 

the 

refrigerator 

in 

the 

coolest 

part 

of 

the 

room, 

out 

of 

direct 

sunlight

and 

away 

from 

heating 

ducts 

or 

registers. 

Do 

not 

place 

the 

refrigerator 

next

to 

heat-producing 

appliances 

such 

as 

range, 

oven, 

or 

dishwasher. 

If 

this 

is

not 

possible, 

section 

of 

cabinetry, 

or 

an 

added 

layer 

of 

insulation 

between

the 

two 

appliances 

will 

help 

the 

refrigerator 

operate 

more 

efficiently.

• Level 

refrigerator 

so 

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, 

which 

are 

located

in 

the 

refrigerator 

compartment 

at 

the 

top 

center 

of 

the 

rear 

wall. 

 

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 

containers 

dry 

before 

placing 

them 

in 

the 

refrigerator.

This 

cuts 

down 

on 

moisture 

build-up 

inside 

the 

unit.

• Organize 

the 

refrigerator 

to 

reduce 

door 

openings. 

Remove 

as 

many 

items 

as

needed 

at 

one 

time, 

and 

close 

door 

as 

soon 

as 

possible.

Controls

Energy Saving Ideas

Cool Down Period

To 

ensure 

safe 

food 

storage, 

allow 

refrigerator 

to 

operate 

with 

the 

doors 

closed 

for

at 

least 

to 

12 

hours 

before 

loading 

with 

food.

Refrigerator 

Control

• The 

refrigerator 

control 

should 

be 

set 

at 

the 

midpoint 

of 

the 

dial 

for 

trial 

period

of 

24 

hours.

• After 

24 

hours, 

adjust 

the 

control 

as 

needed. 

For 

colder 

temperatures, 

turn 

dial

notch 

toward 

COLDEST. 

For 

warmer 

temperatures, 

turn 

dial 

notch 

toward

COLD. 

Adjust 

temperatures 

by 

one 

increment 

at 

time.

Freezer 

Control

• The 

freezer 

control 

should 

be 

set 

at 

the 

midpoint 

of 

the 

dial 

for 

trial 

period 

of

24 

hours.

• After 

24 

hours, 

adjust 

the 

control 

as 

needed. 

For 

colder 

temperatures, 

turn 

dial

notch 

toward 

COLDEST. 

For 

warmer 

temperatures, 

turn 

dial 

notch 

toward

COLD. 

Adjust 

temperatures 

by 

one 

increment 

at 

time.

Note: 

 

When 

first 

setting 

the 

controls 

or 

when 

changing 

setting, 

wait 

24 

hours

for 

the 

temperature 

to 

stabilize, 

before 

making 

additional 

changes.

Turning 

the 

freezer 

control 

may 

change 

temperatures 

in 

both 

compartments. 

For

example, 

if 

the 

freezer 

control 

is 

turned 

to 

colder 

setting, 

the 

refrigerator 

control

may 

have 

to 

be 

adjusted 

to 

warmer 

one. 

Turning 

the 

refrigerator 

control 

will

change 

only 

the 

refrigerator 

temperature.

IMPORTANT: If the freezer control is turned to OFF, cooling stops in both

compartments.

You may hear the "Frost Free" system working. A fan circulates air in the

refrigerator 

and 

freezer 

compartments. 

For 

good 

circulation 

and 

maintenance 

of

proper 

cooling 

temperatures, 

do 

not 

block 

cold 

air 

vents 

with 

food 

items. 

Water

draining 

into 

the 

defrost 

water 

pan 

and 

hissing 

sounds 

are 

normal 

during 

the

automatic 

"Frost 

Free" 

cycle.
