Operation
Saving energy when using your freezer
Installing
•
Install the appliance in a cool position. If it is placed in direct sunlight or next to
an oven or other heat source, the energy consumption can increase substantially.
•
Ensure the appliance is installed with the correct ventilation requirements.
Restricting ventilation can increase the energy consumption.
Cleaning and maintenance
•
Clean the door gasket with warm water or a neutral detergent that leaves no
residue. A tight-sealing door gasket is critical to the efficiency of your appliance.
Usage
•
Do not open the door repeatedly or more frequently than you have to.
•
Do not set the thermostat too low. A change of just one degree can effect the
energy consumption. Use a thermometer to check the temperature.
•
Allow food to sufficiently cool before putting it in the appliance.
•
In the freezer, food packages should be scattered and never grouped or stacked
together until they are completely frozen.
•
If you are going away for a long period of time, turn off the appliance, empty and
clean it and leave the door ajar.
•
If you have a second appliance that is not used, make sure that it is stored with
the power off and the door left ajar until it is actually required.
Disposal
•
If you're going to throw out your old freezer, see if there's a chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs) recycler in your area. The government department which looks after the
environment in your area may be able to help you.
