ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
• Install the fridge or freezer in a cool place out of direct sunlight
and away from cookers, heaters, dishwashers or any hot air
emitting items�
• Do not set the fridge and freezer temperatures lower than
necessary� Set the internal temperature within the correct
range e�g� adjust the thermostat at middle position for 4°C in
the fridge compartment and -18°C in the freezer respectively�
• Let pre-cooked foods cool down before placing them in the
fridge or freezer� This will prevent the internal temperature of
the fridge from rising�
• Keep your fridge full, but not over crowded, this helps reduce
“cold” air loss� Meanwhile, avoid overloading the fridge or
freezer� Try to leave about 20% free space for air circulation�
• To prevent cold air escaping, limit the frequency of opening
door� When retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in
your fridge before opening the door� Only open the door to put
food in or take it out�
• Make sure the door seal is clean and in good condition� It
should hold a piece of paper tightly in place when shut�
• Defrost regularly or when ice is more than 5mm thick� Thick ice
covering the inner sides significantly increases energy use�
• The combination of the drawers, baskets and shelves shown in
the device description is optimal for efficient energy savings�
Changing the combination proposition could alter the efficiency�

building up while the appliance is not in use�
