Energy Saving Tips
The appliance 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 contents cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance
•
forces the compressor to run longer.
Be sure to wrap contents properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This
•
cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
Organize and label contents to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items
•
as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
