Normal energy consumption
In a well ventilated room.
Protected from direct sunlight.
Away from heat sources (radiator,
stove/oven).
When the room temperature is
ideal (approx. 20 °C (68 F)).
At a medium setting of 2 to 3.
Cellar compartment 8 to 12 °C (46
to 54 F)
Refrigerator section 4 to 5 °C (39
to 41 F)
Freezer section -18 °C (-2 F)
Open the door only when
necessary, and for as short a time
as possible.
Store food in an organized way.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down before placing them in the
appliance.
Store food covered or packaged.
Place frozen food in the
refrigerator to defrost.
Do not overfill the appliance.
Leave some room so that air can
circulate properly.
Defrost the freezer when a layer of
ice 1 cm thick has built up.
Increased energy consumption
In an enclosed, poorly ventilated
room.
In direct sunlight.
Near heat sources (radiator,
stove/oven).
When the room temperature is
high.
At a high setting: The lower the
temperature in the appliance, the
more energy it consumes.
On appliances with a winter
setting, make sure that the winter
setting is switched off when the
room temperature is warmer than
16 °C.
Frequent opening of the door for
long periods will cause a loss of
coldness.
Disorganized contents will take
time to sort through, leaving the
door open too long.
Placing hot food in the appliance
will cause the compressor to run
for a long time, with the appliance
working harder to lower the
temperature.
The evaporation or condensation
of liquids will cause a loss of
coldness in the refrigerator.
A layer of thick ice hinders cold air
from reaching the frozen food, and
causes an increase in energy
consumption.
