Tips on saving energy
• Place your refrigerator in the coolest area of the room, away from heat 
producing appliances and heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool before placing them in your refrigerator. Overloading your 
refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly 
may lose quality or spoil.
• Wrap foods correctly and wipe containers dry before placing them in your 
refrigerator. This cuts down on frost build-up inside your refrigerator.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. 
Troubleshooting
CAUTION: Don’t try to repair your refrigerator yourself. Doing so invalidates the warranty.
