•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 unit 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 unit to run less efficiently.
•A freezer that is 2/3 full runs most efficiently.
