How to save energy

Increased energy
consumption
In an enclosed, unventilated room.
In direct sunlight.
Situated near to a heat source
(radiator, oven).
Where there is a high ambient
room temperature.
With a high setting: the lower the
temperature in the compartment,
the higher the energy
consumption.
On appliances with winter setting,
please make sure that the winter
setting is switched off when the
ambient temperature is warmer
than 16 °C.
Frequent opening of the doors for
long periods will cause a loss of
coldness.
If food is not stored in an
organised way, searching for an
item will mean the door is open for
longer.
Placing hot food in the appliance
will cause the compressor to run
for a long time, as the appliance
will have to work harder to lower
the temperature.
The evaporation or condensation
of liquids will cause a loss of
coldness in the refrigerator.
