Energy saving tips
• Locate the appliance in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the freezer.
Overloading the compartments forces the compressor to run longer.
• Wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the freezer
compartment. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the unit.
• Do not line the storage drawers or shelves with aluminium foil, wax paper or paper
towelling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Do not pack food packages close together as this prevents air circulating. Position
packages so that air can circulate freely around them.
• Organise and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove
as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
• Do not open the door of the fridge or freezer compartment unnecessarily or leave it
open for longer than required, especially during a power failure.
• Do not run the appliance permanently on the lowest temperature setting.
Power failure
• Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the
temperature inside your fridge or freezer compartments, if you minimise the number
of times the doors are opened. However, if the power is going to be off for a longer
period of time, you need to take proper steps to protect your food.
• Do not refreeze frozen food without checking its condition first. If in doubt, discard
the food. Do not refreeze food that has thawed completely.
Going away?
• Short vacation: Leave the appliance operating during vacations of less than a month.
• Long vacation: If you are not going to use the appliance for longer periods, remove
all food from the fridge compartment and set it to Holiday mode. In this mode only
the freezer compartment will be operating.
• Clean and dry the interior of the fridge compartment thoroughly. To prevent odour
and mould growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open, if necessary.
(Restrict children’s access to the room with the open appliance to avoid creating a
child entrapment risk.)
Moving the appliance
• Remove all food from inside the fridge and freezer compartments, securely tape
down the drawers and shelves and tape the doors shut. Turn the levelling feet up to
the base to avoid damage.
• Protect the outside of the unit with a blanket or similar soft material and make sure
the appliance stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
