How to Get the
Most Out of
Your Energy
Dollar
When placing refrigerator into final
position, allow for 1" clearance
around the top and sides of unit to
supply ample ventilation for
optimum energy efficiency.
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 unit 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 unit to run less efficiently.
A freezer that is

added layer of insulation.
