ENERGY - SAVING TIPS
You can help your refrigerator use less electricity by
1. Making sure the gaskets are clean and are making good contact with the cabinet.
2. Opening the refrigerator and freezer doors as little as possible. Keep food well organized
and remove all of what you need at one time.
3. Not overfilling the compartments so that air cannot circulate properly.
4. Not setting the refrigerator and freezer sections to at temperature higher than necessary. If
ice cream is firm and drinks are as cold as you like them, which is cold enough.
5. Keeping the refrigerator away from heat sources, such as a cooking range, water heater,
furnace, radiator or direct sunlight.
VACATION AND MOVING CARE SHORT VACATIONS
No need to shut off refrigerator if you will be away for less than four weeks.
LONG VACATIONS
Remove all the food if you are going for a month or more. Unplug the refrigerator and clean
it, rinse well and dry.
Tape rubber or wood blocks to the top of both doors, keeping them open far enough for air
to get in. This will keep odor and mold from building up.
MOVING
Remove all food. Pack frozen food in dry ice. Unplug the refrigerator and clean it
thoroughly. Take out all removable parts. Wrap all parts well and tape them together so
they don't shift and rattle. Screw in the leveling rollers and foot. Tape the doors shut and
tape the electric cord to the cabinet.
When you get to your new home, put everything back. Reconnect the water supply line if
you have an ice maker.
POWER INTERRUPTIONS
If electricity goes off, call the electricity dept. Ask how long will be off.
1. If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less, keep both doors closed. This
will help frozen food stay frozen.
2. If service is to be interrupted longer 'than 24 hours, remove all frozen food and store in
frozen food locker.
3. A full freezer will stay cold longer than a partly filled one. A freezer full of meat will stay cold
longer than a freezer full of baked goods. If food contains ice crystals, it may be safely
refrozen, although the quality and flavor may be affected. If the condition of the food is poor
or if you feel it is unsafe, dispose of it.
REFRIGERATOR SOUNDS
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn't. Because these sounds
are new, you may become concerned. However, these new sounds are normal. Hard
surfaces can make the sounds seem even louder. Some of the sounds you may hear are
RUNNING SOUNDS - caused by the high efficiency compressor and motor.
A SLIGHT HUM OR A SOFT HISS - caused by the refrigerator's fan motor and moving air.
