Energy consumption (electricity costs)

The following guide will help you reduce the running cost 

of your new refrigerator. This will save you money and help 

conserve our valuable energy resources.
1.  If you keep your old refrigerator, save power by 

switching it off when not in use.

2.  Do not set your freezer temperature too low. After 

24 hours, ice cream should be firm but able to be 

scooped out with a spoon without bending the handle. 

If ice cream is firmer than this (or too soft), adjust the 

freezer temperature controls (see ‘Controlling the 

Temperatures’, page 6).

3.  Ensure that the refrigerator doors seal properly as you 

close them.

4.  Before you open the refrigerator doors, decide what you 

want to put in or take out. This will minimize the time you 

have the doors open.

5.  It is best to have the refrigerator in a place that is out of 

direct sunlight and away from heating appliances of any 

kind. For example, do not place the refrigerator next to  

a cooker, stove or dishwasher.

6.  Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before you 

put them in your freezer.

7.  Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator section.
8.  If you keep the freezer compartment filled to capacity, 

your food mass will help maintain the freezer 

temperature when you open the door.

9.  Do not block air vents. Doing so may cause the 

refrigerator to run longer and use more energy.

Switching off the refrigerator

If you are leaving for a short holiday, there is no need to turn 

off your refrigerator – use eco/vacation or eco mode (page 7).
If you are going on a long holiday and want to turn the 

refrigerator off, follow the steps below.
1.  Take all the food out of the refrigerator and freezer 

compartments.

2.  Switch off the refrigerator and remove the electric cord 

from the power point.

3.  Clean the inside.
4.  Leave the doors open. This prevents bacteria from 

growing and causing smells in the refrigerator.

Power failure

If there is a power failure in your area, keep the door to  

the freezer closed. Most foods in your freezer will stay 

frozen for 24 hours.

Cleaning the interior

You should clean the refrigerator interior regularly. It will  

be easiest to clean when the food supply is low. Wash the 

interior with a soft cloth and use an unscented mild soap with 

lukewarm water. Thoroughly dry all surfaces and removable 

parts. Avoid getting water on refrigerator controls. If you have 

taken out any removable parts, replace them and switch  

the power on before restocking the refrigerator with food. 

You should keep the interior of your refrigerator hygienic  

by promptly and thoroughly wiping up any food spills.

Keep door seals clean

Take care to keep door seals clean. Sticky food and drink 

can cause seals to stick to the cabinet and tear when you 

open the door. Wash the seal with a mild detergent and 

warm water. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry.

caution

Never use hot water, solvents, commercial kitchen cleaners, 

aerosol cleaners, metal polishes, caustic or abrasive 

cleaners, or scourers to clean this appliance as they will 

damage it.
Many commercially available cleaning products and 

detergents contain solvents that will damage your 

refrigerator. When cleaning, use only a soft cloth  

with an unscented mild soap and lukewarm water.
