freezer and refrigerator
compartments.

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 NOT use 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

full 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.

damage, observe the following:

➢ Allow light bulb to cool.
➢ Wear gloves when replacing light
