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 NOTuse 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 2⁄3full runs most
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 on temperature
controls for recommended control
settings.
➢Clean door gaskets as indicated in
the cleaning section every 3 months.
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 leveling section.
➢Clean condenser coils off as
indicated in the cleaning section
every 3 months.This will increase
energy efficiency and cooling
performance.
To avoid personal injury or property
damage, observe the following:
➢Allow light bulb to cool.
➢Wear gloves when replacing light
