Tips on Saving Energy
- Install it well
And therefore far from heat sources, from direct sunlight, in a well aired place and according to the distances indicated in the section on "Installation/Aeration".
- Just the right cold
Too cold a compartment increases energy consumption.
- Do not Overfill
To conserve food properly, the cold air must circulate freely within the refrigerator. If it is overfilled, this will prevent proper air circulation, forcing the compressor to work continuously.
- Close the Doors
Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the tem- perature to the proper level again, the motor must work for a long time, consuming energy.
- Keep an Eye on the Seals
Keep the seals clean and make sure that they adhere well to the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.
- No Hot Foods
A hot pot or pan placed in the refrigerator immediately raises the temperature several degrees. Let hot cookware and food cool to ambient temperature before placing them in the re- frigerator.
Alarm buzzers and visual warnings
Door open alarm
If the refrigerator door is left open for more than two minutes, a buzzer will sound. The buzzer will stop sounding when you shut the door.
Abnormal freezer heating alarm
1.To signal an excessive heating on the part of the freezer, a buzzer will sound and the two yellow indicator lights "C" and "E" will start flashing to indicate a dangerous state of overheating. To prevent food from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a temperature of 0°C, thus allowing you to use up the food within 24 hour or to refreeze it after cooking it. Using the special alarm silencing procedure (open and shut the refrigerator door), you can turn off the buzzer. To go back to normal operating conditions, set the freezer knob "F" to position
"
" (refrigerator off) and then turn the appliance back on.
2.If the temperature inside the freezer continues to rise to excessively high values, the buzzer will sound yet again and the two yellow indicator lights "C" and "E" together with the green one "D" will start flashing to indicate an excessive heating. We recommend you check the conditions of the food, as it may be necessary to throw it away. Using the special alarm silencing procedure (open and shut the refrigerator door), you can turn off the buzzer. To go back to normal operating conditions, set
the freezer knob "B" to position "
" (refrigerator off) and then turn the appliance back on.
