Energy Saving Tips
- Install the Appliance Correctly
This means that the appliance should be installed away from
heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.
- Correct Temperature Settings
Set the refrigerator temperature knob to one of the middle
settings. Very cold temperature settings will not only con-
sume a great deal of energy but will neither improve nor
lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively cold tem-
peratures may ruin vegetables, cold cuts and cheese.
- Do Not Overfill Your Appliance
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air cir-
culation. Overfilling your appliance will hamper proper air
circulation and overwork the compressor.
- Keep the Door Closed
Open the refrigerator only when necessary; remember that
every time you open the door most of the cold air will be
lost. To bring the temperature back to the proper level, the
motor must run for a considerable amount of time, consum-
ing a substantial amount of energy.
- Check the Seal on the Door
Keep the seal clean and soft so that it fits tightly against the
door to ensure that no cold air is lost.
- Never Put Food in the Refrigeror while Still Hot
A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the
temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room tem-
perature before storing.
Adjusting the cold air flow
For this, the appliance has a special shelf (which can be
moved into two different positions) located above the tray
for catching the water produced when the unit is defrosted
(Fig, 1).
Put it in the “A” position when the room temperature is
above 20°C.
Put it in the “B” position when the room temperature is
below 20°C.
(Fig. 1)
Use of the storage compartment
The symbol , marked on the door, indicates that this
compartment allows the storage of deep.frozen or frozen
food for short periods (Max 2 weeks).
When purchasing frozen food, make sure that they are stored
at an adeguate temperature and that the pakage is intact.
To keep the quality of the frozen food unaltered, during
transportation it should be put in proper containers and placed
as soon as possible on the refrigeration plates of the
appliance.
Should the package have traces of humidity and abnormal
bulges, it could have been previously stored at an inadegua-
te temperature and the contents could be deteriorate.
