8. ADVICE TO SAVE ENERGY
•
Place the appliance in a cool, well-ventilated room, but do
not expose it directly into sunlight or leave it
near sources of heat (such as radiators, stoves and
others). Otherwise, use an insulating board.
•
Check from time to time that the refrigerator ventilation is
adequate (sufficient air circulation in the back of the
appliance).
•
Try not to open the refrigerator door too often, especially if
the room temperature is high and with humidity. When you
open the door, close it as soon as possible.
•
Under normal temperature conditions, set the thermostat
knob to a middle position.
•
Do not put hot food in the refrigerator; make sure they
have cooled down to room temperature. Do
not overload the refrigerator, as this will force
the compressor to operate for longer. Foods that freeze
too slowly will lose quality or even spoil.
•
When you are going to thaw any frozen food, do it by
placing it in the fridge compartment. The low
temperature of the food frozen foods will help to cool the
refrigerator
compartment
while
they
are
thawing That being so, the refrigerator will work less to
cool and so much energy will be saved. If frozen
foods thaw out of the refrigerator, this energy would be
wasted.
•
When placing beverages and trays with liquids in the
refrigerator, they must be covered. Otherwise it
would increase the humidity inside it. Therefore the
refrigerator will lengthen its operating time. In addition,
when covering the drinks and trays with liquids, their
aromas and flavors are preserved.
•
Keep all drawers and covers closed in any compartment
that has a different temperature inside the
refrigerator (such as drawers for vegetables, eggs
or cheeses, refrigerator and others).
•
Although the drawers are removable for cleaning, the
factory configuration is what ensures greater energy
savings by dividing the interior into different independent
zones, respect this configuration.
