> Avoid overcrowding refrigerator

shelves. This reduces effectivity of air circulation around food and causes refrigerator to run longer..

>- Avoid addirrg too much warm food to

refrigerator 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 refrigerator to run less efficiently,

> A freezer that is % 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,
