Tips | Power Saving Tips |
|
Store hot food in the appliance only after it has cooled.
•If you store cold food, you save on electricity and improve refrigeration.
•Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation.
Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat (radiator, for example).
•Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance.
•Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.
•Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw.
You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.
•Defrost the freezer when ice builds up. A thick coat of ice will impair the transfer of cold to the frozen products, thereby increasing power consumption.
•Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out. The shorter time the door is opened, the less ice will form in the freezer.
•When freezing food or storing it in the freezer, place the food directly on the freezer elements in the top container.
