Energy saving tips

There are many simple things that can be done to save energy.

During installation

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.

Be sure the doors are closing securely by levelling refrigerator.

During use

Avoid overcrowding shelves, as this reduces airflow.

Do not use any material (such aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper towelling) as a shelf liner, this reduces air flow.

Avoid adding too much warm food all at once, this reduces cooling power. Your refrigerator is most efficient when two thirds full.

Organise items in your refrigerator to reduce the time that the door is open.

Maintenance

Clean door gaskets every three months (see page 33).

Clean condenser coils (see page 33).
