Energy Saving Tips
• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator shelves.
Overcrowding reduces 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 two-thirds 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.
• Clean door gasket
s every three months according to
cleaning instructions. 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 your inst
allation
instructions.
• Clean condenser coils as indicated in the cleaning
instructions every three months. This will increase
energy efficiency and cooling performance.
To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe
personal injury or death, disconnect power to
refrigerator
before cleaning. After cleaning,
reconnect power.
