It IS a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator and freezer to temperatures colder than they need to be. If ice cream is firm in the freezer and drinks ore as cold as your family likes them, that�s cold enough. Keep the Power Saving Control on OFF unless moisture forms on the refrigerator exterior. Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat source such as a range, water heater. furnace, radiator, or in direct sunlight.
