ENERGY SAVING TIPS
- Install the Appliance Correctly
This means that the appliance should be installed away
from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room.
THE ACTUAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF THE
APPLIANCE DEPENDS ON THE WAY THE SAME IS
USED AND ON ITS LOCATION.
The consumption tests were performed in 560mm deep column
units, the most common installation setting for this appliance.
- Correct temperature settings
Set the compartment temperature to one of the middle settings.
Very cold temperature settings will not only consume a great
deal of energy but will neither improve nor lengthen the storage
life of the food. Excessively cold temperatures may ruin
vegetables and cheese.
- Do not Overfill
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air
circulation. Overfilling your appliance will hamper proper air
circulation and overwork the compressor.
- Keep the Doors Closed
Open your doors only when necessary, remember that every
time you open the door most of the cold air will be lost. To
bring bring the temperature back to the proper level, the motor
must run for a considerable amount of time, consuming a
substantial amount of energy.
- Check the Door Seals
Keep the seals clean and make sure that they fit tightly against
the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.
- No Hot Foods
A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase the
temperature significantly, allow food to cool to room temperature
before storing.
- Check you appliance for build up of ice
Check the thickness of the frost on the walls of the freezer
and immediately defrost it if the layer becomes too thick. (see
CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE).
BUZZERS AND VISUAL WARNINGS
Door open alarm
Should the refrigerator door be left open for more than two
minutes, the light inside the compartment will begin to flash;
after a few seconds, even if the door was shut in the
meantime, an alarm buzzer is sounded. To silence this buzzer,
just shut the door (or open and shut the door) - or press the
RESET ALAM
button "C".
Abnormal freezer heating alarm
1.
To signal excessive heating on the part of the freezer (e.g.
momentary power failure), a buzzer will sound and a
scrolling text message comes up on the display to signal
the excessive heating of the compartment. To prevent food
from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a temperatu-
re of 0°C, thus allowing you to use up the food within 24
hours or to cook it and then refreeze it. You can turn the
buzzer off simply by pressing the RESET ALARM button
"C"
.
To return to normal operation and cancel the message
from the display, press the RESET ALARM button "C"
again.
2.
If the temperature inside the freezer continues to rise to
excessively high values, the buzzer will sound yet again
and another scrolling text message will come up on the
display to signal the dangerous state of overheating. We
recommend you check the conditions of the food, as it may
be necessary to throw it away. In all cases, food should
not be refrozen unless you cook it first. To prevent food
from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a temperature
of 0°C. The buzzer can be turned off by simply pressing
the RESET ALARM button "C". To return to normal
operation and cancel the message from the display, press
the RESET ALARM button "C" again.
