ENERGY SAVING TIPS

- Install the Appliance Correctly

This means that the appliance should be installed away from

heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.

THE ACTUAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF THE

APPLIANCE DEPENDS ON THE WAY THE SAME IS USED

AND ON ITS LOCATION.

The consumption tests were performed in 560mm deep

column units, the most common installation setting for this

appliance.

- Correct temperature settings

Set the refrigerator temperature to one of the middle settings.

Very cold temperature settings will not only consume a great

deal of energy but will neither improve nor lengthen the

storage life of the food. Excessively cold temperatures may

ruin vegetables and cheese.

- Do not Overfill

Remember that proper storage of food requires good air

circulation. Overfilling your appliance will hamper proper air

circulation and overwork the compressor.

BUZZERS AND VISUAL WARNINGS

minutes, the light inside the compartment will begin to flash;

after a few seconds, an alarm buzzer is sounded. To silence

this buzzer, just shut the door or press the SELECT

"D". Should the door remain open for more than 4 minutes,

the light will flash more rapidly.

dangerous heating of the compartment. To prevent food

from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a tempe-

rature of 0°C, thus allowing you to use up the food within

- Keep the Door Closed

Open your doors only when necessary, remember that every

time you open the door most of the cold air will be lost. To

bring bring the temperature back to the proper level, the

motor must run for a considerable amount of time, consuming

a substantial amount of energy.

- Check the Door Seals

Keep the seals clean and make sure that they fit tightly against

the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.

- No Hot Foods

A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the

temperature significantly, allow food to cool to room

temperature before storing.

- Check you appliance for build up of ice

Check the thickness of the frost on the walls of the freezer

and immediately defrost it if the layer becomes too thick.
