Energy
Saving
Tips
•
The
refrigerator
should
be
located
in
the
coolest
area
of
the
room,
away
from
heat
producing
refrigerators
or
heating
ducts,
and
out
of
the
direct
sunlight.
•
Let
hot
foods
cooi
to
room
temperature
before
placing
in
the
refrigerator.
Overloading
the
refrigerator
forces
the
compressor
to
run
longer.
•
Be
sure
to
wrap
foods
properly,
and
wipe
containers
dry
before
placing
them
in
the
refrigerator.
This
cuts
down
on
frost
build-up
inside
the
refrigerator.
•
Refrigerator
storage
bln
should
not
be
lined
with
aluminum
foil,
wax
paper,
or
paper
toweling.
Liners
interfere
with
cold
air
circulation,
making
the
refrigerator
less
efficient.
•
Organize
and
label
food
to
reduce
door
openings
and
extended
searches.
Remove
as
many
items
as
needed
at
one
time,
and
close
the
door
as
soon
as
possible.
>
