TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible, especially in warm/humid
conditions.
Maintain adequate ventilation around the back and sides of the refrigerator.
Maintain a thermostat of “4” under normal use.
Allow warm food to cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator or freezer.
Excessive ice build up will increase energy consumption. Defrost the refrigerator and freezer when
ice/frost is 1/4” thick. •
