Energy saving tips
There are many simple things that can be done to save energy.
During installation
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.
Be sure the doors are closing securely by leveling refrigerator.
During Use
Avoid overcrowding shelves, as this reduces airflow.
Do not use anything (such aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper toweling) as a shelf liner, as this
reduces air flow.
Avoid adding too much warm food all at once, as this reduces cooling power.
Your refrigerator is most efficient when two thirds full.
Organize items in refrigerator to reduce the time that the door is open.
Maintenance
Clean door gaskets every three months (see page 32).
Clean condenser coils (see page 32).
