(radiator, oven).
Where the ideal ambient room
temperature is approx 20°C.
Where there is a high ambient room
temperature.
Use
Only open the doors when necessary
and for as short a time as possible.
Frequent opening of the doors for
long periods will cause a loss of
coldness.
Store food in an organised way. If food is not stored in an organised
way, searching for an item will mean
the door is open for longer.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down before placing them in the
unit.
Placing hot food in the unit will cause
the compressor to run for a long
time, as the unit will have to work
harder to lower the temperature.
Store food covered or packaged. The evaporation or condensation of
liquids will cause a loss of coldness in
the unit.
Do not over-fill the appliance to
allow air to circulate.
Defrosting
Defrost the unit when a layer of
ice 3 cm thick has built up.
A layer of ice hinders the cold from
reaching the frozen food, and causes
an increase in energy consumption.
