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').
