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 if 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 air vents. 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.
