How To Save Energy - Veripart VPTMKV85 Bedienungsanleitung

During Holidays
• Turn off the fridge first and then unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
• Remove all the food.
• Clean the appliance.
• Leave the door open slightly to avoid possible formation of condensation,
mould, or odours.
• Use extreme caution in the case of children. The unit should not be
accessible to unsupervised children.
• Short holidays: Leave the refrigerator on during holidays lasting less
than three weeks.
• Long holidays: If the appliance will not be used for several months,
remove all food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior
thoroughly. To prevent odour and the growth of mould, leave the door ajar:
either block it open or have the door removed if necessary.

How to save energy

• Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight
and away from heating ducts or radiators. Do not place the refrigerator
next to heat-producing appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher.
• The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as necessary. Do
not place hot food inside the refrigerator.
• Organise the refrigerator to reduce door openings. Remove as many items
as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
• The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid an increase in
energy consumption or the formation of excess ice and / or
condensation inside.
• Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature homogenous inside
the refrigerator. For this reason, it is important to properly distribute the
food, to facilitate the flow of air.
• Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
refrigerator. This cuts down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
• Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing so
causes the refrigerator to run the compressor for a longer time and use
more energy. Shelves should not be lined with aluminium foil, wax paper
or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the
refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food spoilage.
