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. VACATION TIME • Short vacations: Leave the refrigerator operating during vacations of less than three weeks. • Long vacations: If the appliance will not be used for several months, remove all items and turn off the appliance.
