How to save energy
01. Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and away
from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing
appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher.
02. The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as necessary; do not place hot
food inside the refrigerator.
03. Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings .Remove as many items as needed
at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
04. The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid increased energy
consumption, and the formation of excess ice and / or condensation inside.
05. Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature homogenous inside the
refrigerator. For this reason, it is important to properly distribute the food, to facilitate
the flow of air.
06. Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts
down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
07. Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold airvents. Doing so causes the
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 the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food spoilage.
08. During prolonged absences (example: vacations), it is advisable to disconnect the
refrigerator, remove all the food, and clean it . The door should be left slightly open to
avoid mold and unpleasant odors. This will not affect the refrigerator when it is
reconnected.
09. During short absences (example: holidays), the refrigerator can remain on. However,
remember that prolonged power outages may occur while you are gone.
