How to Get the
Most Out of
Your Energy
Dollar
• When placing refrigerator into final
position, allow for 1" clearance
around the top and sides of unit to
supply ample ventilation for
optimum energy efficiency.
• Avoid overcrowding refrigerator
shelves. This reduces effectivity of
air circulation around food and
causes refrigerator to run longer.
• Avoid adding too much warm food
to unit at one time. This overloads
compartments 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 /
3
full runs most
efficiently.
• 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
recommended 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
refrigerator 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 of as
indicated in the owner's manual
every 3 months. This will increase
energy efficiency and cooling
performance.
