Vacation And Moving Care; Energy Saving Tips - Black & Decker ECR17B Use & Care Book

Vacation and Moving Care

• For long vacations or absences, empty food from refrigerator and
freezer, move the temperature dial to the OFF position and clean
the refrigerator and door gaskets according to "General Cleaning"
section. Prop doors open, so air can circulate inside.When moving,
always move the refrigerator vertically. Do not move with the unit
lying down. Possible damage to the sealed system could occur.

Energy Saving Tips

• The refrigerater should be located in the coolest area of the room,
away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of
direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the
refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator forces the compressor to run
longer and thus increases energy consumption. Foods that refrigerate
too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before
placing in the refrigerator.
• The wire shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper,
or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the
refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize 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.
