If your current refrigerator is more than 15 years old, energy savings by upgrading to a more energy-efficient model may pay off the cost of a new refrigerator in just a few years. If, on the other hand, you have trouble understanding how spending $1,200 for a new refrigerator is really saving you money, here are seven tips to help boost the efficiency of your existing refrigerator. In so doing, the money you save can go toward the purchase of a new refrigerator later. 1. Clean the condenser coils. Clean the coils located on either EATERY PUB fl bps a n i.inrniMuiiii,1;.;;;-!

When the coils become caked with dust and dirt, they are less efficient in transferring heat to the room. You can use either a brush or vacuum to clean the coils. If extremely greasy, you may want to use a mild detergent with water. You should always unplug the power supply as a safety precaution. 2. Check the door seal. Check the door seal or gasket on your refrigerator carefully. They tend to wear out or get twisted over time. To check, insert a five dollar bill into the door at various locations. If it holds tight, you're okay, if it falls to the ground, then you're probably losing at least that five dollar bill's worth of electricity each month. If your refrigerator has a magnetic seal, you may want to stick a bright. flashlight in your refrigerator (turned on). Close the door and examine the seal from a dark kitchen. If you can see any light, your gasket should be adjusted or replaced. Gaskets can be expensive ($50 to $100) so you might want to consider upgrading to a newer energy-efficient model rather than sinking money into your older fridge. 3. Check the temperature. According to USU Extension Specialist Georgia Lauritzen, the refrigerator compartment temperature should be between 36 and 39 degrees and the freezer compartment from 0 to 3 degrees. You can use colder temperatures, but by keeping the temperature 10 degrees lower than needed, you can increase your energy consumption by up to 25 percent 4. Check the power-saver switch. Some refrigerators have a power-saver power-saver switch that will help eliminate condensation. Unless you have a big problem with condensation, keep the switch in the power-saving position. 5. Defrost on a regular basis. Manual defrost refrigerators and freezers should be defrosted on a regular basis. The build-up of ice on the coils inside the unit means that the compressor has to run longer to maintain cold temperatures. 6. Manage the ins and outs. First, don't plan the menu with the door open. Second, avoid putting hot foods directly in the fridge. Third, cover all foods or containers. They release moisture and decrease efficiency. Fourth, mark all items in the freezer clearly with the date and contents to avoid spoilage and reduce the time the door is open. Fifth, if you are not utilizing a second fridge or freezer, unplug and remove the door for safety and energy savings. Sixth, keep the freezer section of your refrigerator full, a full freezer will perform better than a partially full one. La Lanne to keynote conference Jack La Lanne, long touted as America's foremost fitness instructor, will keynote the fifth annual Senior's Conference, May 27, at Little America, Salt Lake City. Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said La Lanne is famous worldwide, for giving a lifetime to physical exercise and nutrition. "La Lanne will show our Utah seniors how to capture the fountain of youth," Hatch said. "For that, there's no one better for our seniors to hear. Jack's a senior himself." La Lanne, who is 75, said a person's "golden years" are the starting point in life. "All the experiences you've learned in the first 50 years can really be put into practice in your senior years," La Lanne stated. "I took up golf at 50. It just shows what the mind will do. Remember, if the mind can conceive, the body can achieve." On his 65th birthday La Lanne swam Lake Ashinoko in Japan, handcuffed and shackled, pulling 65 boats with 76 passengers. La Lanne began developing various types of exercise routines in the mid-30s. He and his wife Elaine (who is a fitness expert herself) are authors of a dozen best Come Join rr. ill i WwaW via! 7 mm SAVE 10 LIVING GROUPS 5 piece Whitewash Wicker Loveseat, Sofa, Cocktail, Chair, End Table - united retail &300.

"My life's work has been to get every man, woman and child into physical fitness," La Lanne said. "There are 640 muscles in the human body. I plan to tell you about a few of them at the senior's conference." Not only is La Lanne well known to fitness enthusiasts, millions have seen him through 30 years of television appearances, many of which are now syndicated on Cable TV. The senior's conference will also include seminars on health, politics, biomedical ethics, and how to enhance your life with creative ideas.
