Refrigerators use about 16.4 percent and freezers 5.3 percent of household electricity. With hot summer weather upon us, this is a good time to review some simple ways to cut the energy costs of running these appliances. Place the refrigerator away from heat sources, ovens, dishwashers, and direct sunlight, and h allow at least a space around the outside to allow good air circulation. Clean the condenser coils a minimum of once per year, check the tightness of the door seals, and defrost as often as necessary. Keep the "power-saving- " switch on the "energy-savinsetting and use an accurate thermometer to set the temperatures inside: fresh food compartment, 36F to 38F; freezer, 0F to 5F. With a separate freezer, keep it at the same temperature and try to keep it as fiill as possible. Turn it off if its empty. Install it in an attached garage or base- one-inc- ment; this will reduce energy consumption in cooler periods and lessen the homes cooling loads during warmer months. Be sure to clean the condenser coils, check the seals and defrost as often as necessary. Mark items in the freezer for quick identification to reduce door opening time.
