Hints and Care
A \ How to Get the
^ J Most Out of
^ Your Energy
Dollar
Avoid overcrowding refrigerator
shelves. This reduces effeciivity 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 alunninurri foil, wax
paper, or paper toweling as shelf
liners This decreases air flow and
causes Unit to run less efficiently,
A freezer that is full runs most
efficientty
Locale 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 this Use and Care Guide
section on temperature controls for
recommended control settings
Clean door gaskets every three
months according to this Use and
Care Guide’s cleaning instructions.
This will assure that door seáis
property and Unit runs efficientiy
Take time to organize items in
refrigerator to reduce time that door
is open.
Be sure your doors are dosing
securefy by leveling unit as'
instructed in this Use and Care
Guide.
Clean condenser coils as indicated
in the Use and Care Guide every 3
months. This will increase energy
efficiency and cooling performance.
