How to save energy
consumption
Opening doors frequently and
for long periods results in loss
of coolness and influx of
warmer ambient air. The
appliance works harder to
cool down and the
compressor runs for longer
periods.
Hot food or food at room
temperature raises the
temperature inside the
appliance. The appliance
works harder to cool down
and the compressor runs for
longer periods.
The evaporation or
condensation of liquids will
cause a loss of coldness in the
refrigerator.
A build-up of ice slows down
the cooling process.
