8 TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY
•
Install the appliance in a cool, well-
ventilated room, but not in direct sunlight
and not near a heat source (such as a
radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating
plate should be used.
•
Allow warm food and drinks to cool
before placing them inside the appliance.
•
Place thawing food in the refrigerator
compartment if available. The low
temperature of the frozen food will
help cool the refrigerator compartment
while the food is thawing. This will save
energy. Frozen food left to thaw outside
of the appliance will result in a waste of
energy.
Recommendations
•
If the appliance is switched off or
unplugged, wait at least 5 minutes before
plugging the appliance in or restarting
it in order to prevent damage to the
compressor.
•
If you will not use your appliance for
a long time (e.g. in summer holidays)
unplug
it. Clean your appliance according
to
chapter cleaning and leave the door
open to
prevent humidity and smell.
•
If a problem persists after you have
followed all the above instructions, please
consult the nearest authorised service
centre.
•
The appliance you have purchased is
designed for domestic use only. It is not
suitable for commercial or common use. If
the consumer uses the appliance in a way
that does not comply with this, we
emphasise that the manufacturer and the
dealer will not be responsible for any repair
and failure within the guarantee period.
• There is food or packaging preventing the
door from closing
• The door joints are broken or torn
•
Your
appliance
is on a level surface.
The door does not open or close
properly
Check if:
•
Drinks or other liquids should be
covered
when inside the appliance. If
left
uncovered, the humidity inside the
appliance will increase, therefore the
appliance uses more energy. Keeping
drinks and other liquids covered helps
preserve their smell and taste.
•
Avoid keeping the doors open for long
periods and opening the doors too
frequently as warm air will enter the
appliance and cause the compressor to
switch on unnecessarily often.
•
Keep the covers of the different
temperature compartments (such as the
crisper and chiller if available) closed.
•
The door gasket must be clean and
pliable. In case of wear, replace the
gasket.
•
Energy consumption of your appliance
is declared without drawers and fully
loaded in freezer compartment.
•
For saving energy, do not use volume
between the load limit and the door,
along the load limit line. Load limit line
is
also used in energy consumption
declaration.
