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 or freezer temperature knob to one of the medium settings. Very low temperatures will not only consume a great deal of energy but will neither improve or lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively low tem- perature may in fact spoil vegetables, cold meats and cheese.

- Do not overfill your appliance

Remember that proper storage of food requires good air circulation. Overfilling your appliance will prevent this circu- lation and overwork the compressor.

- Shut the doors

Open your appliance only when strictly necessary; remem- ber that every time you open the door most of the cold air will be lost. The motor will have to run, and consume en- ergy, to restore the correct temperature.

- Check the door seals

keep the gaskets clean and soft so that they fit closely against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.

- Never store hot foods

A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room tem- perature before storing.

- Check your appliance for build up of ice

Remember to check the walls of the freezer for frost; when the frost becomes too thick, defrost the freezer immediately (See “Maintenance Instructions”).
