(radiator, oven).
Where the ideal ambient room
temperature is approx 20°C.
Where there is a high ambient
room temperature.
Use Only open the doors when
necessary and for as short a time
as possible.
Frequent opening of the doors for
long periods will cause a loss of
coldness.
Store food in an organised way. If food is not stored in an
organised way, searching for an
item will mean the door is open
for longer.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool
down before placing them in the
unit.
Placing hot food in the unit will
cause the compressor to run
for a long time, as the unit will
have to work harder to lower the
temperature.
Store food covered or packaged. The evaporation or condensation
of liquids will cause a loss of
coldness in the unit.
Do not over-fill the unit to allow
air to circulate.
Defrosting
Defrost the freezer
compartment when a layer of
ice 1 cm thick has built up.
A layer of ice hinders the cold
from reaching the frozen food,
and causes an increase in energy
consumption.
