o Warm food should be allowed to cool down before you attempt
to freeze it. If you place warm food in the freezer section, then
the increased humidity will cause quicker ice formation and
increase the amount of power that the appliance uses.
Making ice-cubes
o When making ice-cubes, fill the ice tray 2/3 with water and place
it in the freezer compartment.
o After the water has completely turned to ice, you can twist the
tray as shown in the diagram above in order to release the ice-
cubes.
Saving energy when using your freezer
Installing:
o Install the appliance in a cool position. If it is placed in direct
sunlight or next to an oven or other heat source, the energy
consumption can increase substantially.
o Ensure the appliance is installed with the correct ventilation
requirements. Restricting ventilation can increase the energy
consumption by 15%.
Cleaning and Maintenance:
o Occasionally clean the condenser coils (if present) at the back of
the appliance to maintain a high performance level.
o Defrost the appliance regularly. A build up of thick ice decreases
the efficiency of the appliance. You should defrost whenever the
frost reaches 5 mm thickness.
o Clean the door gasket with warm water or a neutral detergent
that leaves no residue. A tight-sealing door gasket is critical to
the efficiency of your appliance.
