• When placing refrigerator into final
position, allow for 1" clearance
around the top and sides of unit to
supply ample ventilation for
optimum energy efficiency.
• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator
shelves. This reduces effectivity of
air circulation around food and
causes refrigerator to run longer.
• Avoid adding too much warm food
to unit at one time. This overloads
compartments and slows rate of
cooling.
• Do not use aluminum foil, wax
paper, or paper toweling as shelf
liners. This decreases air flow and
causes unit to run less efficiently.
