How to save energy

01. Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out
of direct sunlight and away from heating ducts or
registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-
producing appliances such as a range, oven or
dishwasher.
02. The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as
necessary; do not place hot food inside the refrigerator.
03. Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings
.Remove as many items as needed at one time and
close the door as soon as possible.
04. The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid
increased energy consumption, and the formation of
excess ice and / or condensation inside.
05. Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature
homogenous inside the
is important to properly distribute the food, to facilitate
the flow of air.
06. Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them
in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up
inside the unit.
07. Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold airvents.
Doing so causes the refrigerator 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 refrigerator less efficient,
which could cause food spoilage.
08. During prolonged absences (example: vacations), it is
advisable to disconnect the refrigerator, remove all the
food, and clean it . The door should be left slightly open
to avoid mold and unpleasant odors. This will not affect
the refrigerator when it is reconnected.
09. During short absences (example: holidays), the
refrigerator can remain on. However, remember that
prolonged power outages may occur while you are gone.
