ENERGY STAR® Program Information
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, SHARP has determined that this
product meets the
ENERGY STAR® is a U.S. registered mark.
WHY PURCHASE
Many Electrical /Electronic Products use energy both when they are on
and when they are off. Americans spend more than $3 billion a year on
energy consumed by home electronic products when they are not in
use. The new
ergy “leakage” by up to 75 percent. Ultimately, this will mean more than
$1 billion a year in energy savings for consumers.
The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the
related carbon dioxide pollution that contributes to global warming.
If every American family replaced their electronic equipment with
ENERGY ST AR® labeled models, it would reduce air pollution equiva-
lent to eliminating more than two million cars.
By using
your electric bills and use less energy.
That makes good economic sense and it’s good for our environment.
