ERGYSAVINGIDEAS

> Avoid overcrowding refrigerator

shelves.This reduces effectivity of air circulationaround food and causes

refrigeratorto run longer.

> Avoid addingtoo much warm food to

refrigerator at one time. This overloads compartmentsand slows

rate of cooling.

> DONOT use aluminumfoil,wax paper,

refrigeratorto run lessefficiently.

> A freezer that is 73full runs most

efficiently.

> Locaterefrigeratorin coolest part of

this is not possible, isolate exterior by

usinga sectionof cabinet or an added layer of insulation.

> Referto section in Use and Care
