9. TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVING

■ Refrigerating appliances may not operate consistently (the contents may defrost or the
temperature may become too warm in the frozen food compartment) when placed for an
extended period of time below the minimum temperature for which the refrigerating appliance
is designed.
■ Do not store fizzy drinks in food freezer compartments or cabinets or in low-temperature
compartments or cabinets.
■ Do not exceed the storage time recommended by the food manufacturer (especially for
commercially quick-frozen food).
■ When defrosting the appliance, take necessary precautions to prevent an undue rise in the
temperature of frozen food, such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
A rise in the temperature of frozen food during manual defrosting, maintenance or cleaning
may shorten the storage life.
■ In order to prevent children from being locked inside the appliance, keys for doors and lids
must be kept out of the reach of children and not in the vicinity of the appliance.
■ Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the
appliance compartments.
