WARNING
2. Pack refrigerator and freezer sections
– including doors – with crumpled
sheets of black and white newspaper.
3. Place charcoal briquettes randomly on
crumpled newspaper in both freezer
and refrigerator compartments.
4. Close doors and let stand 24-48

Energy saving ideas
➢ When placing refrigerator into final
position, allow for 1 Ú
2
" clearance around
the top and sides of the unit to supply
ample ventilation for optimum energy
efficiency.
➢ Avoid overcrowding refrigerator
shelves. This reduces air circulation
around food and causes refrigerator to
run longer.
➢ Avoid adding too much warm food to
unit at one time. This overloads com-
partments and slows rate of cooling.
➢ Do not use aluminum foil, wax paper,
or paper toweling as shelf liners. This
decreases air flow and causes unit to
run less efficiently.
➢ A freezer that is 2 Ú
3
full runs most effi-
ciently.
➢ 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.
➢ Refer to Owner's Manual section on
temperature controls for recommend-
ed control settings.
➢ Clean door gaskets every three
months according to Owner's Manual
cleaning instructions. This will assure
that door seals properly and unit runs
efficiently.
➢ Take time to organize items in refriger-
ator to reduce time that door is open.
➢ Be sure your doors are closing
securely by leveling unit as instructed
in your Owner's Manual.
➢ Clean condenser coils as indicated in
the Owner’s Manual every 3 months.
This will increase energy efficiency
and cooling performance.
