Energy Saving Tips
• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
refrigerator or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator
forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods property, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator.
• Refrigerator storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners
interfere with cold air drculation, making the refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as
needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
