Using Your Refrigerator (Con/nued...)

ENERGY SAVING TIPS...

The following energy-saving tips can save you money:

• Check door gaskets for a tight seal. Level the cabinet to be sure of a good seal.

• Clean the condenser coil regularly. Refer to “Cleaning Your Refrigerator” section (Page 15).

• Open the door as few times as possible.

• Think about what you need before you open the door.

• Get everything out at one time.

• Keep foods organized so you do not have to search for what you want.

• Close door as soon as food is removed.

• Fill up the refrigerator, but don’t overcrowd it so air movement is blocked.

• It is a waste of electricity to set the refrigerator and freezer to temperatures colder than they need to be. A good gauge is if ice cream is firm in the freezer and drinks are as cold, then the refrigerator-freezer is cold enough.

• Keep the Power Saving Control on CONSUMES LESS ENERGY unless moisture forms on the exterior of the refrigerator.

• Make sure your refrigerator is not next to a heat source such as a range, water heater, furnace, radiator, or in direct sunlight.
