ENERGY SAVING
For better energy saving we suggest :
•
Installing the appliance away from heat sources and not exposed to direct
sunlight and in a well-ventilated too.
•
Avoid putting hot food into the refrigerator to avoid increasing the internal
temperature and therefore causing continuous functionality of the compressor.
•
Do not excessively stuff foods so as to ensure proper air circulation.
•
Defrost the appliance in case there is ice to facilitate the transfer of cold.
In case of absence of electrical energy, it is advisable to keep the refrigerator
•
door closed.
•
Open or keep the doors of the appliance open as little as possible
•
Avoid adjusting the setting to temperatures too cold.
•
Remove dust present on the rear of the appliance
Refrigerating appliances might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting
•
of contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment)
when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the range of
temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.
Effervescent drinks should not be stored in food freezer compartments or
•
cabinets or in low-temperature compartments or cabinets, and some products
such as water ices should not be consumed too cold;
Take the precautions necessary to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of
•
the frozen food while defrosting the refrigerating appliance, such as wrapping the
frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
A rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance
•
or cleaning could shorten the storage life.
Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the
•
temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
•
Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible
drainage systems.
•
Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48 h; flush the water system
connected to a water supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.
•
Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not
in contact with or drip onto other food.
If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost,
•
clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the
appliance.
