No d@osting
The energ T saver switch is located on the
temperature control panel.
To reduce the amount ofelectricity
required to operate your refl-igerator,
push switch to ENERGY SAVER setting,
This turns off the heater in your
refl-igerator that prevents moisture fl-om
forming on the outside of the refligerator,
With the heater turned off; there is a
chance that moisture may form on the
outside of your reffigerau_r, especially
when the weather is humid.
The hmrfidity is most likely to be high in
in the early morning hours,
and in homes which are not air
conditioned.
It is not necessai T to deflost the fleezer or
flesh food compartments, Ahhough your
refligerator is designed and equipped to
deflost itself automatically, some flost on
packages is normal.
Over an extended period of time,
moisture that forms on the refligerator
surface may cause deterioration of the
paint finish. It will be important to protect
the finish by using appliance polish wax as
described in the Care and Cleaning
section.
Move the energ T saver switch fl-om the
ENERGY SAVER setting and electricity
flows through the low wattage heater
which warms the outside of the
refligeratoro Under most conditions, this
prevents the fi_rming of moisture or water
droplets.
