ENERGY SAVING TIPS
The following suggestions will minimize the cost of
operating your refrigeration appliance.
1.
Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance, (cook
-
er, dishwasher, etc.). heating air duct, or other heat sources.
2.
Install product out of direct sunlight.
3.
Ensure the toe grille vents at front of unit beneath
door is not obstructed and kept clean to allow venti
-
lation for the refrigeration system to expel heat.
4.
Plug your appliance into a dedicated power cir
-
cuit. (Not shared with other appliances).
5.
When initially loading your new product, or whenever
large quantities of warm contents are placed within re
-
frigerated storage compartment, minimize door open
-
ings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull
down to compartment set-point temperature.
6.
Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will re
-
quire less appliance run time than an empty compartment.
7.
Ensure door closing is not obstructed by con
-
tents stored in your appliance.
8.
Allow hot items to reach room tempera
-
ture before placing in product.
9.
Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
10.
Use the warmest temperature control set-point
that meets your personal preference and provides
the proper storage for your stored contents.
11.
For wine storage products:
a. When serving temperatures are not required, re-
turn the compartment(s) set-point to the ideal red
and white wine long term storage temperature of
13°C / 55°F.
b. For Dual-Zone product with two (2) independent
temperature controlled compartments, use the
lower compartment for the coldest storage /
serving temperature, (i.e.- red wines on top, white
wines in lower).
12. Minimize use of display lighting option on glass door
products, (light stays on with door closed).
13. When on vacation or away from home for extended pe-
riods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable tempera-
ture for the stored contents.
14. Set the control to the “off” position if cleaning the unit
requires the door to be open for an extended period of
time.
15. Periodically clean the front grille (toe kick) see page 4.
