Energy Saving Tips

• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area

of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or
heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.

• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing

the compressor to run longer and thus increases energy
consumption. Foods that refrigerate too slowly may lose
quality or spoil.

• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry

before placing in the refrigerator.

• The shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax

paper, or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air
