TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING
Try not to open the doors too often, especially when the weather is damp and hot. Once you open a door, close it as
soon as possible.
Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).
During normal temperature conditions, the thermostat should be placed at the middle setting.
Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh food, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.
Layers of ice and frost increase energy consumption, so defrost the freezer as soon as the layer is
¼
-inch thick.
If there is an outer condenser, the rear wall should be always kept free of dust or other impurities.
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating
ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the
compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on
frost build-up inside the appliance.
Shelves and storage bins should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with
cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one
time, and close the door as soon as possible.
