- Install the appliance correctly
This means that the appliance should be installed away from
heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.
- Correct temperature settings
Set the refrigerator or freezer temperature knob to one of
the medium settings. Very low temperatures will not only
consume a great deal of energy but will neither improve or
lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively low tem-
perature may in fact spoil vegetables, cold meats and cheese.
- Do not overfill your appliance
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air
circulation. Overfilling your appliance will prevent this circu-
lation and overwork the compressor.
- Shut the doors
Open your appliance only when strictly necessary; remem-
ber that every time you open the door most of the cold air
will be lost. The motor will have to run, and consume en-
ergy, to restore the correct temperature.
- Check the door seals
keep the gaskets clean and soft so that they fit closely against
the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.
- Never store hot foods
A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the
temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room tem-
perature before storing.
- Check your appliance for build up of ice
Remember to check the walls of the freezer for frost; when
the frost becomes too thick, defrost the freezer immediately
