Property
Management is committed to making the on-campus living experience
a pleasant and safe one. As part of this effort, we
have arranged to have MicroFridges® available to UMaine
students. This is a great combination appliance that meets
our current
electrical specifications.**
MicroFridge® offers a combination appliance
outfitted with a 700 watt microwave oven, a freezer and refrigerator
unit. The appliance required only one electrical outlet, freeing
up
additional outlets!
Obtaining a MicroFridge®
Be sure to coordinate refrigerators and MicroFridges® with your roommate. Contact your roommate before making rental arrangements to avoid duplication. For new students, roommate information is provided during Summer Orientation.
RENT: Units can be rented for $189.95/academic year through University Electronics, an independent
company. Contact University Electronics
directly to rent a MicroFridge®.
For safety reasons, only one MicroFridge® is
permitted in each room.
Alternative Fridge
If you choose not to rent a MicroFridge® you
may bring a refrigerator; however, microwaves are not allowed
for safety reasons. Common areas in each dormitory offer access
to a microwave oven.
Only one refrigerator is allowed
per room. Refrigerators may be up to 4 cubic feet in size and
must carry an Energy Star logo.
Apartments in Patch and DTAV are
equipped with refrigerators. Additional refrigerators cannot
be put in these suites for safety reasons.
Conserve energy!
Turn
off lights and unplug or turn off power strips to appliances
that use “stand-by” power
when not in use.
