ENERGY SAVING TIPS
- Install the Appliance Properly
In other words, away from sources of heat and direct sun-
light, 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
circulation. 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 in-
crease 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').
