CARE AND CLEANING (cont.) TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
You can solve many common appliance problems easily, saving you the cost of a possible service call.
Try the suggestions below to see if you can solve the problem before calling the servicer.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• The refrigerator should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator. Overloading the
refrigerator forces the compressor to run longer and thus increase energy consumption. Foods that
refrigerate too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing in the refrigerator.
• The shelves should not be lined with aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper towels. This will interfere
with cold air circulation, making the refrigerator less efficient.
• Organize food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at
one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
