Tips For Saving Energy - SchaubLorenz SL SE311WE User Manual

Check if:
• All food is packed properly. Containers
must be dry before being placed in the
appliance.
• The appliance door is opened
frequently. Humidity of the room enters
the appliance when the doors are
opened. Humidity increases faster when
the doors are opened more frequently,
especially if the humidity of the room is
high.
The door does not open or close
properly
Check if:
• There is food or packaging preventing
the door from closing
• The door joints are broken or torn
• Your appliance is on a level surface.
Recommendations
• If the appliance is switched off or
unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before
plugging the appliance in or restarting
it in order to prevent damage to the
compressor.
• If you will not use your appliance for
a long time (e.g. in summer holidays)
unplug it. Clean your appliance
according to chapter cleaning and leave
the door open to prevent humidity and
smell.
• If a problem persists after you have
followed all the above instructions,
please consult the nearest authorised
service centre.
• The appliance you have purchased is
designed for domestic use only. It is not
suitable for commercial or common use.
If the consumer uses the appliance in a
way that does not comply with this, we
emphasise that the manufacturer and
the dealer will not be responsible for any
repair and 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 if available. 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 if available) closed.
7. The door gasket must be clean and
pliable. In case of wear, replace the
gasket.
