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

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

as

soon

as

possible.
