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 odors.
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.
