
Remove all the food.

Securely tape down all loose items inside your refrigerator.

Tape the doors shut.

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 the direct sunlight.

Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator forces
the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.

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.

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.
