Energy-Saving Tips
•
The unit should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances
or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.
•
Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is damp and hot. Once you open
the door, close it as soon as possible.
•
Occasionally check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the
appliance).
•
Set the thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (depends on how loaded the
appliance is, ambient temperature, etc.).
•
Before loading items into the unit, be sure they have cooled to ambient temperature.
•
A layer of frost and ice increases energy consumption, so defrost the freezer as soon as the layer
is 1/2" thick.
•
For best storage, be sure not to over-pack and assure the freezer door closes fully.
1. Lights on these units are controlled by a plunger type switch, so that the interior light comes on
automatically when the refrigerator door is opened.
