ENERGY SAVING TIPS
- Install the Appliance Properly
In other words, away from sources of heat and direct sunlight, in a well ventilated room.
- Correct Temperature Settings
Set the temperature control to one of the middle settings. Very cold temperature settings will not only consume a great deal of energy but will neither improve nor lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively cold temperatures may ruin vegetables and cheese.
- Do not Overfill your Appliance
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air circula- tion. Overfilling your appliance will hamper proper air circulation and overwork the compressor.
- Close the Doors
Open your refrigerator only when necessary, remember that every time you open the door, most of the cold air will be lost. To bring the temperature back to the proper level again, the motor must run for a considerable amount of time, consuming a substantial amount of energy.
- Check the Door Seal
Keep the seal clean and make sure that they adhere well to the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.
- No Hot Foods
A container of hot food placed in the refrigerator will increase the temperature significantly.
Allow food to cool before storing.
- Check your Appliance for build up of ice
Check the interior walls for ice. Defrost your appliance when the layer becomes too thick (see section, 'CARING for your APPLIANCE').
