Save power
and you
save money
If you notice your power bill
continuing to shoot upward,
perhaps you need a refresher
course on how to save kilowatts.
A slight change of a few well-
established bad habits can be a
beginning to conserving energy --
which means money.
Most people think that the real
culprits are convenience gadgets
such as can openers, coffee
grinders, or electric mixers,
but these appliances actually
require very little energy, report
food specialists at the Ontario
Food Council, Ministry of A-grf-
culture and Food much larger
'users of energy are major appli-
ances that heat or cool and
operate for long periods of time,
such as ranges, refrigerator, and
freezers. If you concentrate your
conservation efforts in these
areas, you may be able to reduce
your power bill substantially.
Be stingy with your range:
1. Use big pots on big burners;
small pots on small burners.
Flat-bottomed pots are more ef-
ficient than one with curved
bottoms.
2. Use a saucepan or frypan big
enough for the recipe that you are
preparing, but not too large.
3. Check your oven for accuracy.
Have faulty switches, burners
and thermostats professionally
and promptly fixed.
4. Preheat your oven just long
enough for it to reach the desired
temperature; any, longer, and
you're wasting fuel.
5. When possible, cook more
than one dish at a time in the
oven. An oven meal makes the
most efficient use of energy.
6. Finally, remember to turn off
the burners and oven when you
have finished using them.
Freeze that refrigerator bill
where it is:
1. Don't stand in front of an open
fridge deciding what you want to
remove. Decide ahead of time, so
that you don't waste money air-
conditioning the kitchen with the
refrigeraor.
2. If leaving on vacation, reset
the temperature control to a
lower number.
3. Keep the fridge full. A
half -empty appliance uses more
energy because air is harder to
keep cold than chilled food.
4. If your unit is not frostfree,
don't allow the frost to .build
up more than a quarter inch in the
freezer section.
SPRAY CANS & INSECTICIDES
Read carefully and follow to
the•letter all instructions on spray
cans and insecticides, states
the Ontario Safety League. Do,
not use around children and
pets and make sure your work
area is well ventilated. Store
these items in a safe place out
of the reach of curious children.
