Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is
·
placed. See the section "Installation". When
installed correctly, the cabinet will consume less
energy.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for long
·
periods, or opening the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
·
door from closing properly.
Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure
·
safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of
the refrigeration unit
It is advisable to periodically clean the
·
refrigeration system at the back of the appliance
with a duster or vacuum cleaner.
Always leave warm food to cool down to room
·
temperature before placing in the fridge.
Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should
·
be placed in the fridge before being transfered to
the freezer.
Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by
·
packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages
before placing them in the freezer.
Carefully follow the advice on freezing products
·
in the section "Using the freezer". This will
