Saving energy
31
How to save energy:
Installation
location
The refrigeration appliance has to cool more often at higher am-
bient temperatures and consumes more energy in the process.
Therefore, you should:
- Install the refrigeration appliance in a well-ventilated room.
- Do not install the refrigeration appliance near to a heat source
(heater element, range).
- Protect the refrigeration appliance from direct sunlight.
- Ensure an ideal ambient temperature of 68°F (20°C).
- Clean the ventilation gaps on a regular basis to remove any
dust.
Temperature
setting
The colder the temperature, the higher the energy consumption.
The following settings are recommended:
- 39 to 41°F (4 to 5°C) in the refrigerator section.
- 0°F (-18°C) in the freezer section.
Use
Energy consumption is increased by heat input and impeded air
circulation. Therefore, you should:
- Only open the appliance door(s) when necessary and for as
short a time as possible. Arrange the food in such a way that
makes it easy to find in the appliance.
- Always close the appliance door(s) properly after opening
them.
- Allow hot food and drinks to cool down before placing them in
the refrigeration appliance.
- Store food well packaged or covered.
- Do not overfill the compartments to allow air to circulate.
- Place frozen food in the refrigerator section to defrost.
- Keep drawers and shelves arranged as they were when the
appliance was delivered.
