POWER CONSUMPTION
The kilowatt hours per month (Kwh/Mo.)
shown on the fact tag attached to the
inner door is the measure of the power
consumed when tested in accordance with
AHAM Standard HRF-2ECFT with power
saver switch at the normal setting and at
the setting recommended when moisture
forms on refrigerator exterior.
The approximate monthly cost of opera-
tion can be calculated by multiplying the
Kwh/Mo. by the cost per kilowatt hour
from your local power company. Cost of
operation varies under actual usage
conditions.
POWER SAVER SWITCH
Your refrigerator is equipped with apower
;aver switch located on the left side of the
“refrigerator near the top of the fresh food
compartment (Fig. 7). This switch allows
rou to turn heaters on to eliminate mois-
ure on the exterior, if and when. it forms.
---—— ~~----
POWERSAVER “
Fig. 7,
This moisture can be expected only when
the weather is humid and if your kitchen is
not air conditioned. The switch should be
left on the “normal” position to save power
except when moisture does form. Remem-
ber to switch it back to normal when the
weather is no longer humid.
POWER-SAVING‘TIPS
~Don’t open doors more often than neces-
sary and close them as soon as possible,
particularly in hot, humid weather.
~Store only foods requiring refrigeration
in your refrigerator.
~Wipe all moisture from bottles and car-
tons before putting them into the refrigera-
tor; and keep all foods covered to reduce
moisture build-up inside,
~Don’t waste ice cubes by letting many
melt while using afew.
~If you turn control to coldest position for
quick chilling or freezing, don’t forget to
turn it back to normal setting.
oDon’t overcrowd your refrigerator— over-
crowding can require extra electrical ener-
gy to keep everything cool.
~Before leaving the house or retiring for
he night, check to be sure doors haven’t
]een left ajar inadvertnetly.
