Tips on Saving Energy
- 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.
- Just the right cold
Setting internal temperatures that are too low will increase consumption levels.
- 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.
- Defrost the Freezer
Check the thickness of the frost on the walls of the freezer and immediately defrost it if the layer of frost is too thick. (see the section entitled, “Keeping your Appliance in Shape”).
Alarm buzzers and visual warnings
Door open alarm
Should the refrigerator door be left open for more than two minutes, the lamp inside the compartment will begin to flash; after a few seconds, an alarm buzzer is sounded. To silence this buzzer, just shut the door or press the SELECT button "D". Should the door remain open for more than 4 minutes, the lamp will flash more rapidly.
Abnormal freezer heating alarm
1.To signal an excessive heating on the part of the freezer (e.g. momentary power failure), a buzzer will sound and a message comes up on the display (A1) to signal the dangerous heating of the compartment. To prevent food from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a tempe- rature of 0°C, thus allowing you to use up the food within 24 hours or to cook them and then refreeze them. You can turn the buzzer off simply by pressing the SELECT button "D".
To return to normal operation and cancel the message from the display, you need to turn the appliance off and on again, turning the appliance ON/OFF knob "B".
2.If the temperature inside the freezer continues to rise to excessively high values, the buzzer will sound yet again and another message (A2) will come up on the display to signal the dangerous state of overheating. We recommend you check the conditions of the food, as it may be necessary to throw it away. In all cases, food should not be refrozen unless you cook it first. To prevent food from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a temperature of 0°C. The buzzer can be turned off by simply pressing the SELECT button "D". To return to normal operation and cancel the message from the display, you need to turn the appliance off and on again, turning the appliance ON/OFF knob "B".
