MEAT • Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not occur. ENERGY SAVING IDEAS • Locate 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 i appliances such as a range, oven, or dishwasher. If this is not possible, a section of cabinetry or an added layer of insulation between the two appliances will help the refrigerator operate more efficiently. • Level the refrigerator so that the door closes tightly. • Refer to the "SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL" section for the suggested temperature control settings. • Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the refrigerator to run longer and use more energy. • Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit. • Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible. VACATION AND MOVING TIPS Short Vacations: • Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks. Long Vacations: If the refrigerator will not be used for several months: • Remove all food and unplug the power cord. • Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. • Leave the refrigerator door open slightly, blocking it open if necessary, to prevent odor and mold growth. Moving: When moving the refrigerator, follow these guidelines to prevent damage: • Disconnect the power cord plug from the wall outlet. • Remove foods, then defrost, and clean the refrigerator. • Secure all loose items such as base panel, baskets, and shelves by taping them securely in place to prevent damage. • In the moving vehicle, secure refrigerator in an upright position to prevent movement. Also protect outside of refrigerator with a blanket, or similar item.
