radiators, heaters, etc as this will increase energy consumption
• Keep the door closed as much as possible.
preventing the doors from closing properly
• Setting the temperature to a colder temperature means higher energy consumption,
so set only as cool as you really require
• Do not overfill the appliance - overfilling means the cool air cannot circulate freely inside
the cabinet which may slow the process of cooling and make the cabinet less efficient
• Defrost the appliance if frost can be seen building up inside - frost will increase energy
