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 direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing

the compressor to run longer and thus increases energy
consumption. Foods that refrigerate too slowly may lose
quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry
before placing in the refrigerator.
• The shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax
paper, or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air
