Energy-Saving Tips
• The appliance should be located in the
coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances or heating ducts,
and out of direct sunlight.
• Level the unit so the doors
close tightly.
• Do not overcrowd the unit or block cold
air vents. Doing so causes the appliance
to run longer and use more energy.
Shelves should not be lined with aluminum
foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making
the appliance Jess efficient, which could
cause food spoilage.
Cover foods and wipe containers dry
before placing them in the unit. This cuts
down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
Organize and label food to reduce door
openings and extended searches. Remove
as many items as needed at one time, and
close the door as soon as possible.
