Tips on Saving Energy
- Install the Appliance Properly
In other words, away from heat sources and direct sunlight,
in a well ventilated room complying with the minimum dis-
tances indicated in the paragraph entitled, " Installation/Ven-
tilation."
- Use the Right Temperature Setting
A setting which is too cold increases energy consumption.
- Do not Overfill
To cstore food properly, the cold air must circulate freely
within the refrigerator. If it is overfilled, this will prevent proper
air circulation, forcing the compressor to work continuously.
- Close the Doors
Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time
you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the tem-
perature to the proper level again, the motor must work for
a long time, consuming energy.
Alarm buzzers and visual warnings
Doors open alarm
Should the appliance doors remain open for longer than
two minutes, an alarm buzzer sounds and/or the light inside
the fridge/freezer will begin to flash. The buzzer will be
silenced and the flashing will cease when the doors are shut.
Abnormal freezer heating alarm.
There are two types of alarms that signal an abnormal rise in
the temperature of the freezer.
A1 Alarm
To signal an excessive heating on the part of the freezer, a
buzzer will sound and A1 comes up on the display, while the
red indicator light begins to flash: in this case, to prevent the
food from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a tem-
perature of 0°, thus allowing you to use up the food within
24 hours or to cook it and then refreeze it.
The buzzer can be silenced and the visual signal cancelled
by opening and shutting one of the fridge-freezer doors.
- Keep an Eye on the Seals
Keep the seals clean and make sure that they adhere well
to the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.
- No Hot Foods
A hot pot or pan placed in the refrigerator immediately raises
the temperature several degrees. Let hot cookware and food
cool to ambient temperature before placing them in the
refrigerator.
To return to normal operating conditions, set the freezer
knob to position
(refrigerator off) and then turn the
appliance back on.
A2 Alarm
If the temperature inside the freezer continues to rise to
excessively high values, the buzzer will sound yet again and
the red indicator light will start flashing, while A2 comes up
on the display: in this case, we recommend you empty out
your freezer and check the conditions of the food, as it may
be necessary to throw it away. Under no circumstances should
the food be refrozen. In this case also, to prevent the food
from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a tempera-
ture of 0°.
The buzzer can be silenced and the visual signal cancelled
by opening and shutting one of the fridge-freezer doors.
