Energy-saving tips

●

Location of your refrigerator is important. Avoid locating it next to your range, a heating vent or where the sun will shine directly on it.

●

Don’t open the door more often than necessary.

●

Close the door as soon as possible, particularly in hot, humid weather.

●

Defrost the ice storage compartment whenever frost becomes l/4-inch thick.

Be sure the door is closed tightly. Before leaving the house or retiring for the night, check to be sure the door has not been left open accidentally.

●

Store only those foods requiring

refrigeration in your refrigerator.

●

Wipe moisture from bottles and cartons before putting them in the refrigerator.

Keep foods covered to reduce moisture buildup inside the refrigerator.

● If you turn the temperature

control to the coldest position for quick chilling or faster freezing of ice cubes, be sure to turn it back to the regular setting.

●

Don’t overcrowd your refrigerator. Overcrowding can require extra electrical energy to keep everything cool.

Save time and money. Before you request service . . .
