RANGE TABLES FOR REFRIGERATORS AND FREEZERS

[Updated January 22, 2001]

The ranges now in effect for the products covered by Appendices A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A8, B1, B2, and B3 were published on December 2, 1998 (63 Fed. Reg. 66428). Use the 1998 costs for electricity when calculating estimated annual operating cost for these products to put at the bottom of the EnergyGuide (see "COST INFORMATION," below). The ranges now in effect for the products covered by Appendix A7 (Refrigerator-Freezers with Automatic Defrost with Top-Mounted Freezer with Through-The-Door Ice Service) were published on October 23, 2000 (65 Fed. Reg. 63201). Use the 2000 costs for electricity when calculating estimated annual operating cost for these products to put at the bottom of the EnergyGuide (see "COST INFORMATION," below).

COST INFORMATION

When the above ranges of comparability are used on EnergyGuide labels for refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and freezers covered by Appendices A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A8, B1, B2, and B3 the estimated annual operating cost disclosure appearing in the box at the bottom of the labels must be derived using the 1998 Representative Average Unit Costs for electricity (8.42¢ per kiloWatt-hour), and the text below the box must identify the costs as such. When the above ranges of comparability are used on EnergyGuide labels for refrigerator-freezers with automatic defrost with top-mounted freezer with through-the-door ice service covered by Appendix A7, the estimated annual operating cost disclosure appearing in the box at the bottom of the labels must be derived using the 2000 Representative Average Unit Costs for electricity (8.03¢ per kiloWatt-hour), and the text below the box must identify the costs as such.
