[ Warm Cabinet Surfaces ]

At times, the front surfaces of your refrigerator cabinet may be warm to the touch. This
is a normal function of you r refrigerator. This feature prevents moisture from condensing
on the outside of your refrigerator during humid weather. This condition may be

noticeable when you first start your refrigerator, during hot weather, and during
excessive or lengthy door openings.

[Ener,Ti.s]

For efficient energy use:

1. Be sure the refrigerator is level and ventilation around the front grille is not blocked.

2. Check door seals occasionally for leakage. Check at various places: top, bottom,
and sides.

3. Check the temperature; avoid unnecessary cold settings.

4. Keep the freezer near full capacity; less cold air is lost during door openings.

5. Let hot dishes cool before putting into refrigerator or freezer.

6. Cover liquids; if uncovered, the unit must work longer.

7. Clean refrigerator condenser coils at least twice a year.
