to “Ensuring Proper Air Circulation” for the location of air
vents.
• The door (s) are opened often.
Be aware that the refrigerator will warm when this
occurs. In order to keep the refrigerator cool, try to get
everything you need out of the refrigerator at once, keep
food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as
soon as the food is removed.
• A large amount of food has just been added to the
refrigerator or freezer.

can take several hours for the refrigerator to return to the
normal temperature.

room air enters the refrigerator. The more often the door
is opened, the faster humidity builds up, especially when
the room itself is very humid.)
