ENERGY SAVING ADVICE
•
Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.
•
Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that the air vents are clear.
•
Try to avoid keeping the door open for a long time, warm air will enter the cabinet and may cause a build
up of ice, as well as affecting the energy consumption. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properly.
•
Ensure that the door seal is clean and there are no tears or splits.
•
Keep the most perishable foods, (those with a short shelf-life, such as cooked meats), in the coldest part of
the fridge. The Salad Crisper Box is the warmest part of your fridge and should be used for vegetables,
salads and fruits etc.
•
Do not overload the fridge: the cooling air that circulates to keep the fridge cold gets blocked and pockets
of warm air form.
IN THE EVENT OF A POWER FAILURE
If there is a power failure, keep the door closed. When the power has been restored the appliance will start to
operate, but it may take some time to achieve the pre-set operating temperature. Check the condition of your
stored food items and liquids.
