Remove all the food.

Energy Saving Tips
The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
•
appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. Overloading the refrigerator
•
forces the compressor to run longer.
•
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This
cuts down on frost build-up inside the refrigerator.
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.
