Energy saving ideas
➢When placing refrigerator into final position, allow for 1⁄2" clearance around the top and sides of the refrigerator to supply ample ventilation for optimum energy efficiency.
➢Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves. This reduces air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to run longer.
➢Avoid adding too much warm food to refrigerator at one time. This over- loads compartments and slows rate of cooling.
➢Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling as shelf liners. This decreases air flow and causes refrig- erator to run less efficiently.
➢A freezer that is 2⁄3 full runs most effi- ciently.
➢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 Owner's Manual section on
How to Adjust the Temperature Controls (page 11) for recommended control settings.
➢Clean door gaskets every three months according to Owner's Manual cleaning instructions. This will assure that door seals properly and refrigera- tor runs efficiently.
➢Take time to organize items in refriger- ator to reduce time that door is open.
➢Be sure your doors are closing securely by leveling refrigerator as instructed in your Owner's Manual.
➢Clean condenser coils as indicated in the Owner’s Manual every 3 months. This will increase energy efficiency and cooling performance.
