Energy saving tips
Install it well
This means that the appliance should be installed away from heat sources or direct sunlight in a
Correct temperature settings
Set the freezer temperature knob to one of the medium settings. Very low temperatures will not only consume a great deal of energy but will neither improve or lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively low temperature may in fact spoil vegetables, cold meats and cheese.
Do not overfill
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air circulation. Overfilling your appliance will prevent this circulation and overwork the compressor.
Shut the doors
Open your appliance only when strictly necessary; remember that every time you open the door most of
the cold air will be lost. The motor will have to run, and GB consume energy, to restore the correct temperature.
Check the door gaskets
Keep the gaskets clean and soft so that they fit closely against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.
Never store hot foods
A container of hot food in the freezer will increase the temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room temperature before storing.
