Energy Saving Ideas
•
Install
refrigerator
in
coolest
part
of
room,
out
of
direct
sunlight,
and
away
from
heating
ducts
or
registers.
Do
not
place
refrigerator
next
to
heat-producing
appliances
such
as
a
range,
oven,
or
dishwasher.
If
this
is
not
possible,
a
section
of
cabinetry,
or
an
added
layer
of
insulation
between
the
two
appliances
will
help
refrigerator
operate
more
efficiently.
•
Level
refrigerator
so
doors
close
tightly.
•
Refer
to
this
Owner's
Guide
for
suggested
refrigerator
settings.
•
Cleaning
condenser
regularly
will
help
refrigerator
run
more
efficiently.
See
Outside
in
"Care
and
Cleaning"
section.
•
Do
not
overcrowd refrigerator, or
block cold
air
vents. Doing so
causes
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
refrigerator
less
efficient,
which
could
cause
food
spoilage.
•
Cover
foods,
and
wipe
containers
dry
before
placing
them
in
refrigerator.
This
cuts
down
on
moisture
build-up
inside
unit.
•
Organize refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as
needed
at
one
time,
and
close
door
as
soon
as
possible.
Setting
Controls
Refrigerator
Control
Cool Down Period
To
ensure
safe
food
storage,
allow
the
refrigerator
to
operate
with
the
doors
closed
for
at
least
8
to
12
hours
before
loading
with
food.
Refrigerator
and
Freezer
Controls
•
To
start
out,
set
control
dials
to
the
midpoint
for
a
trial
period
of
24
hours.
Temperatures
•
After
24
hours, adjust
the
controls
as
needed.
Adjust
temperatures
one
number
at
a
time.
For
colder
temperatures,
turn
the
dial
toward
COLDEST.
For
warmer
temperatures,
turn
the
dial
toward
COLD.
The
temperature
will
increase
or
decrease,
but
not
necessarily
by
1,
2,
or
3
degrees.
An
adjustment
made
to
one
compartment
may
require
an
adjustment
to
the
other.
•
Turning
the
refrigerator
control
will
change
the
temperature
in
BOTH
compartments.
If
the
refrigerator
control
is
turned
to
OFF,
cooling
stops in both compartments.
•
Turning
the
freezer
control
will
change
only
the
temperature
in
the
freezer
compartment.
To
maintain
temperatures,
a
fan
circulates
air
in
the
refrigerator
and
freezer
compartments.
For
good
circulation,
do
not
block
cold
air
vents
with
food
items.
Energy Saver Switch
(some models)
If
your
refrigerator
is
equipped
with
an
Energy
Saver
Switch,
keep
it
set
on
ENERGY
SAVER
for
lowest
energy
usage.
Moisture
During
humid
weather,
or
if
moisture
appears
on
the
cabinet
between
the
doors,
set switch to REDUCE EXTERIOR MOISTURE. A heater will warm the surface and
allow
moisture
to
evaporate.
