Energy Saving Tips
• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before plac ing in the refrigerator. Overloading the
refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or
spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe container s dry before placing them in the refrigerator.
This cuts down on frost build up inside the refrige rator.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings an d extended searches. Remove as many
items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

warm. The exterior refrigerator walls can be as much as
30οF warmer than room temperature. This is
normal while the compressor works to transfer
heat from inside the refrigerator cabinet.
Popping or cracking sound when compressor
comes on. Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction,
as in hot water pipes. This is normal. Sound will
level off or disappear as refrigerator continues to

The door is not sealed properly. Moisture forms on outside of refrigerator. Door is slightly open, causing cold air from inside the refrigerator to meet warm moist air from outside. The door will not close properly. The refrigerator is not on a level surface. The gasket is dirty. The storage basket is out of position.
