Tips For Saving Energy - Frigidaire FKB34GFELT User Manual

Important Notes:
• In the case of a power failure, or if the
appliance is unplugged and plugged in
again, the gas in the cooling system of
your refrigerator will destabilise, causing
the compressor protective thermal
element to open. Your refrigerator will
start to operate normally after 5 minutes.
• If the appliance will not be used for a long
period of time (such as during holidays),
disconnect the plug. Defrost and clean
the refrigerator, leaving the door open
to prevent the formation of mildew and
odour.
• If the problem persists after you have
followed all the instructions above,
please consult the nearest Authorised
Service Centre.
• This appliance is designed for domestic
use and for the stated purposes only. It is
not suitable for commercial or common
use. If the consumer uses the appliance
in a way that does not comply with these
instructions, we emphasise that the
manufacturer and the dealer will not be
responsible for any repair or failure within
the guarantee period.

8 TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well-
ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight
and not near a heat source (such as a
radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating
plate should be used.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool
before placing them inside the appliance.
3. Place thawing food in the refrigerator
compartment. The low temperature
of the frozen food will help cool the
refrigerator compartment while the food
is thawing. This will save energy. Frozen
food left to thaw outside of the appliance
will result in a waste of energy.
4. Drinks or other liquids should be
covered when inside the appliance. If
left uncovered, the humidity inside the
appliance will increase, therefore the
appliance uses more energy. Keeping
drinks and other liquids covered helps
preserve their smell and taste.
5. Avoid keeping the doors open for long
periods and opening the doors too
frequently as warm air will enter the
appliance and cause the compressor to
switch on unnecessarily often.
6. Keep the covers of the different
temperature compartments (such as the
crisper and chiller) closed.
7. The door gasket must be clean and
pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
