tips
●
Location of your refrigerator is
important. Avoid locating it next
to your range, a heating vent or where
the sun will shine directly on it.
●
Don’t open the doors more often
than necessary.
●
Close the doors as soon as
possible, particularly in hot,
humid weather.
●
Be sure the doors are closed
tightly. Before leaving the house or
retiring for the night, check to be
sure the doors haven’t been
lefi
open accidentally.
●
Store only those foods requiring
refrigeration in your refrigerator.
●
Wipe moisture from bottles and
cartons before putting them in the
refrigerator.
●
Keep foods covered to reduce
moisture buildup inside the
refrigerator.
●
If you turn the controls to the
coldest position for quick chilling
or freezing, be sure to turn them
back to regular settings.
●
Don’t overcrowd your refrigerator.
Overcrowding can require extra
electrical energy to keep everything
cool.
