Energy saving tips
There are many simple things that can be done to save energy.
During installation
Locate refrigerator to the coolest part of the room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight, or near heating
■ ■
ducts, registers, or other heat producing appliances.
Ensure your refrigerator has adequate ventilation as shown in the installation instructions.
■ ■

During use

Avoid overcrowding shelves, as this reduces airflow.
■ ■
Do not use anything (such as aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper towelling) as a shelf liner, as
■ ■
this reduces airflow.
Avoid loading too much warm food in at once and allow good clearances in front of the air ducts
■ ■
within the cabinet for maximum cold air distribution.
Your refrigerator is most efficient when it is two thirds full.
■ ■
Do not leave the door open for any longer than is necessary and organise items in the
■ ■
refrigerator to reduce the time that the door is open.
Before placing food in the fresh food or freezer compartments
Remove all packaging found inside the compartments eg tape, polystyrene etc.
■ ■
Clean the inside of the appliance with a mixture of warm water and a little liquid detergent to
■ ■
remove manufacturing and transportation dust.
The appliance may have an odour on its initial operation, but this will go when the refrigerator
■ ■
has cooled sufficiently.
Allow the refrigerator to run empty for 2 – 3 hours to allow each compartment to cool to the
■ ■
appropriate temperature.
