Tips on Saving Energy

- Install the Appliance Properly
In other words, away from sources of heat and direct sun-
light, in a well ventilated room complying with the minimum
distances indicated in the paragraph entitled, " Installation/
Ventilation."
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.
- Use the Right Temperature Setting
A setting which is too cold increases energy consumption.
- Do not Overfill
To conserve 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.

- 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 re-
frigerator.
- Defrost the Freezer
Check the thickness of the frost on the walls of the freezer
and immediately defrost it if the layer of frost is too thick.
