ENERGY-SAVING TIPS • Locate the appliance in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight, and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the unit next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven, or dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the two appliances will help the unit operate more efficiently. • Level appliance so that the door closes tightly. • Refer to the "SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL" section for the suggested temperature control settings. • Do not overcrowd the unit or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the appliance to run longer and use more energy. • Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit. • Organize the appliance to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible. CARE AND CLEANING Keep your refrigerator clean to prevent odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately and clean at least twice a year. Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions on any surface. Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher. Always unplug the electrical power. CAUTION • When moving the refrigerator, pull straight out. Do not shift the refrigerator from side to side as this may tear or gouge the floor covering. • Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch interior metal surfaces with wet or damp hands. Vacation and Moving Tips Short Vacations: • Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than 3 weeks. Long Vacations: If the refrigerator will not be used for several months: • Remove all food and unplug the power cord. • Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. • Leave the refrigerator door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth. 16
