• Off - The refrigerator uses more energy when this
switch is off, because a heater located in the hinged
seal section of the door is running. This heater helps
prevent condensation formation on the exterior of the
hinged seal. Turn the switch OFF when the
environment is warm and more humid or if moisture
is noticed on the door exterior.
• On - This setting saves energy by not using the
heater. Turn the switch ON when the environment is
less humid.
