TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
•
Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot and humid. Once you
open the door, try to close it as soon as possible.
•
When the unit is built-in:
While this unit can be installed under a counter and the
compressor cooling is fan-assisted, an air gap of 2” between the rear of the unit and the wall
or counter surface behind is strongly recommended. This will enhance cooling and reduce
energy waste. Also leave at least 3/16” on both sides and 1/16” at the top. Be sure that
airflow under the appliance is not blocked.
•
When the appliance is used as a free-standing unit:
When placing your unit, make sure
you allow at least 4” of clearance at the sides, rear and top to allow for adequate airflow.
•
Set the thermostat from a higher to lower setting whenever possible, depending on how full
the appliance is or what the ambient temperature is.
•
Keep the unit out of direct sunlight.
•
Periodically, check that the unit’s door seals well and that the contents do not prevent the
door from closing.
