Refrigerator Tips

-The value of a new refrigerator rests on more than the initial price tag. The annual operating costs on the Energy Label can be considered the second price tag. Compare models similar in size and features.

-Refrigerators manufactured since 1997 aree required by the Department of Energy to use no more energy than two light bulbs in order to qualify for the Energy Star rating. This translates into a 200% more efficient refrigerator than those of the Harvest Gold era.

-Allow 24 hours for temperatures to stabillize on a newly installed refrigerator. Set controls to the initial suggested manufacturer settings and adjust one control one setting at a time as detailed in the User's Guide.

-If your refrigerator/freezer experiences a power failure or malfunction, keep the door closed. A full freezer will remain frozen for about 48 hours; a half-full freezer about 24 hours. Refrigerated items will last 4-6 hours depending on the warmth of the surrounding room temperature.

-Keep the condenser coils clean to ensure an efficient refrigerator. This should be done yearly. They can be found usually at the back lower compartment. Use a gentle brush, so as not to disturb the tubing.

-To eliminate odors, place a bowl of cottoon balls soaked in plain vanilla extract in the fresh food section.
