Energy saving ideas

➢ Avoid overcrowding refrigerator
shelves. This reduces effectivity of air
circulation around food and causes
refrigerator to run longer.
➢ Avoid adding too much warm food to
refrigerator at one time. This
overloads compartments and slows
rate of cooling.
➢ Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper,
or paper toweling as shelf liners. This
decreases air flow and causes
refrigerator to run less efficiently.
➢ A freezer that is
2 full runs most
⁄
3
efficiently.
➢ Locate refrigerator in coolest part of
room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight,
or near heating ducts, registers, or
other heat producing appliances. If
this is not possible, isolate exterior by
using a section of cabinet or an
added layer of insulation.
➢ Refer to section in Use and Care
Guide on temperature controls for
recommended control settings.
➢ Clean door gaskets every three
months according to use and care
guide instructions. This will assure
that door seals properly and
refrigerator runs efficiently.
➢ Take time to organize items in
refrigerator to reduce time that door
is open.
➢ Be sure your doors are closing
securely by leveling refrigerator as
instructed in your use and care guide.
➢ Clean condenser coils off as
indicated in the Use and Care Guide
every 3 months. This will increase
energy efficiency and cooling
performance.
