temperature controls.
Power Saver Switch
The power saver switch is located
on the temperature control panel.
To reduce the amount of electricity required
to operate your refrigerator, push switch to
POWER SAVER setting.
This turns off the heater in your refrigerator that
prevents moisture from forming on the outside of the
refrigerator.
With the heater turned off, there is a chance that
moisture may form on the outside of your refrigerator,
especially when the weather is humid.
The humidity is most likely to be high in the summer,
in the early morning hours, and in homes which are
not air conditioned.
Over an extended period of time, moisture that forms
on the refrigerator 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 power saver switch from the POWER
SAVER setting and electricity flows through the low
wattage heater which warms the outside of the
refrigerator. Under most conditions, this prevents the
forming of moisture or water droplets.
No Defrosting
It is not necessary to defrost the freezer or fresh food
compartments. Although your refrigerator is designed
and equipped to defrost itself automatically, some
frost on packages is normal.
