Energy Saving Tips

- Install the Appliance Correctly
This means that the appliance should be installed away from
heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.
THE ACTUAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF THE
APPLIANCE DEPENDS ON THE WAY THE SAME IS USED
AND ON ITS LOCATION. The consumption tests were
performed in 560mm deep column units, the most common
installation setting for this appliance.
- Correct Temperature Settings
Set the refrigerator temperature knob to one of the middle
settings. Very cold temperature settings will not only con-
sume a great deal of energy but will neither improve nor
lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively cold tem-
peratures may ruin vegetables, cold cuts and cheese.
- Do Not Overfill Your Appliance
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air
circulation. Overfilling your appliance will hamper proper air
circulation and overwork the compressor.
- Keep the Door Closed
Open the refrigerator only when necessary; remember that
every time you open the door most of the cold air will be
lost. To bring the temperature back to the proper level, the
motor must run for a considerable amount of time, con-
suming a substantial amount of energy.
- Check the Seal on the Door
Keep the seal clean and soft so that it fits tightly against the
door to ensure that no cold air is lost.
- Never Put Food in the Refrigeror while Still Hot
A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the
temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room tem-
perature before storing.
