ENERGY SAVING TIPS

- Install the Appliance Correctly

This means that the appliance should be installed away from

heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.

- Correct temperature settings

Set the refrigerator temperature to one of the middle settings.

Very cold temperature settings will not only consume a great

deal of energy but will neither improve nor lengthen the

storage life of the food. Excessively cold temperatures may

ruin vegetables and cheese.

- Do not Overfill

Remember that proper storage of food requires good air

circulation. Overfilling your appliance will hamper proper air

circulation and overwork the compressor.

- Keep the Door Closed

Open your doors only when necessary, remember that every

time you open the door most of the cold air will be lost. To

bring bring the temperature back to the proper level, the

motor must run for a considerable amount of time, consuming

a substantial amount of energy.

- Check the Door Seals

Keep the seals clean and make sure that they fit tightly against

the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.

- No Hot Foods

A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the

temperature significantly, allow food to cool to room

temperature before storing.

- Check you appliance for build up of ice

Check the thickness of the frost on the walls of the freezer

and immediately defrost it if the layer becomes too thick.
