Energy Saving Tips - Smeg CR330SE Installation And Use Manual

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.
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.
- Correct temperature settings
Set the refrigerator or 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 tem-
perature may in fact spoil vegetables, cold meats and cheese.
- Do not overfill your appliance
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air cir-
culation. Overfilling your appliance will prevent this circula-
tion and overwork the compressor.
GB
- Shut the doors
Open your appliance only when strictly necessary; remem-
ber that every time you open the door most of the cold air
will be lost. The motor will have to run, and consume en-
ergy, to restore the correct temperature.
- Check the door seals
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 refrigerator will increase the
temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room tem-
perature before storing.
- Check your appliance for build up of ice
Remember to check the walls of the freezer for frost; when
the frost becomes too thick, defrost the freezer immediately
