How to Save Energy
1.
Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and away
from heating ducts or radiators. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing
appliances such as a cooker, oven or dishwasher.
2.
The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as necessary.
3.
Do not place hot food inside the refrigerator.
4.
Organise the refrigerator to reduce door openings.
5.
The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid increased energy
consumption, and the formation of excess ice and / or condensation inside.
6.
Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature consistent throughout the
refrigerator. For this reason, it is important to properly distribute the food to facilitate the
flow of air.
7.
Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts
down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
8.
Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold air vents. Doing so causes the
refrigerator to run longer and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with
aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation,
making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food spoilage.
9.
During prolonged absences (example: vacations), it is advisable to disconnect the
refrigerator, remove all the food, and clean it. The door should be left slightly open
to avoid mould and unpleasant odors. This will not affect the refrigerator when it is
reconnected.
10.
During short absences (example: holidays), the refrigerator can remain on. However,
remember that prolonged power outages may occur while you are gone.
