ENERGY TIPS
FOR EFFICIENT
ENERGY
USE:
1.
Be sure refrigerator is level and ventilation around front grille is not blocked.
2.
Check door seals occsionally for leakage. Check at various places, top, bottom, sides.
3.
Check the temperature, avoid unnecessary cold settings.
4.
Keep freezer full to near capacity, less
cold air is lost during door openings.
5.
Let hot dishes cool before putting into
refrigerator or freezer.
6.
Cover liquids, if uncovered, the unit
must work longer.
7.
Clean refrigerator condenser coils at
least twice a year.
SAFETY TIPS
1. In case of power failure, minimize door
openings. If power failure is of long
duration, protect frozen food by placing
blocks of dry ice on top of the packages,
or check with a local frozen foods locker
plant about temporary storage.
2. Use the three-pronged plug only with a
grounding receptacle to provide protection from electrical shock.
3. Unplug refrigerator before cleaning condenser or replacing light bulb.
4. Remove the doors from out-of-use refrigerator. Prevent a child from becoming accidentally trapped and suffocating.

leave the control knob at its usual setting.
During longer absences, (a) remove all
food, (b) disconnect from electrical outlet, (c)
clean the refrigerator thoroughly, including
defrost pan, (d) leave doors open to prevent
odor formation.
