Energy Saving Tips

• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances, and out of the direct sunlight.
  • Overloading the refrigerator forces the thermoelectric cooling system to run longer.
• Reduce door openings and extended searches, remove as many item as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
• One characteristic of heat-pipe units is the length of time it requires to recover from having the door opened and shut frequently. It may be necessary to wait longer for the temperature to return to its former level once the door has been opened for too long. This is normal for the type of unit.
• Heat-pipe technology costs just pennies to operate. It is environmentally friendly due to the lack of CFC's.
