HOW TO SAVE ENERGY
•
Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight
and away from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next
to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher.
•
The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as necessary; do not
place hot food inside the refrigerator.
•
Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings.Remove as many items as
needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
•
The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid increased energy
consumption, and the formation of excess ice and / or condensation inside.
•
Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature homogenous inside the
refrigerator. For this reason, it is important to properly distribute the food, to
facilitate the flow of air.
•
Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator.
This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
•
Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold airvents. Doing so causes the
refrigerator to run longer and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined
with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold
air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food
spoilage.
•
During prolonged absences (example: vacations), it is advisable to disconnect
the refrigerator, remove all the food, and clean it . The door should be left
slightly open to avoid mold and unpleasant odours. This will not affect the
refrigerator when it is reconnected.
•
During short absences (example: holidays), the refrigerator can remain on.
However, remember that prolonged power outages may occur while you are
gone.
