Energy saving tips
There are many simple things that can be done to save energy.
During installation
Locate refrigerator in coolest part of room. Avoid areas of direct sunlight, or near heating ducts,
registers, or other heat producing appliances. If this is not possible, isolate exterior by using a
section of cabinet or an added layer of insulation.
Be sure the doors are closing securely by levelling refrigerator.
During Use
Avoid overcrowding shelves, as this reduces airflow.
Do not use anything (such aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper towelling) as a shelf liner, as this
reduces airflow.
Avoid adding too much warm food all at once, as this reduces cooling power.
Your refrigerator is most efficient when two thirds full.
Organise items in refrigerator to reduce the time that the door is open.
Before placing food in the fresh food or freezer compartments
Remove all packaging.
Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove
manufacturing and transportation dust.
The appliance may have an odour on its initial operation, but this will go when the refrigerator
and freezer have cooled sufficiently.
Allow the refrigerator to run empty for 2 – 3 hours to allow each compartment to cool to the
appropriate temperature.
