Tips on Saving Energy
- 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.
- Just the right cold
Setting internal temperatures that are too low will increase
consumption levels.
- Do not Overfill
To conserve food properly, the cold air must circulate freely
within the refrigerator. If it is overfilled, this will prevent proper
air circulation, forcing the compressor to work continuously.
- Close the Doors
Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time
you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the tem-
perature to the proper level again, the motor must work for
a long time, consuming energy.
- Keep an Eye on the Seals
Keep the seals clean and make sure that they adhere well to
the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.
- No Hot Foods
A hot pot or pan placed in the refrigerator immediately raises
the temperature several degrees. Let hot cookware and food
cool to ambient temperature before placing them in the re-
frigerator.
- Defrost the Freezer
Check the thickness of the frost on the walls of the freezer
and immediately defrost it if the layer of frost is too thick.
(see the section entitled, “Keeping your Appliance in Shape”).
Alarm buzzers and visual warnings
Door open alarm
Should the refrigerator door be left open for more than two
minutes, the lamp inside the compartment will begin to flash;
after a few seconds, an alarm buzzer is sounded. To silence
this buzzer, just shut the door or press the
SELECT
button
"D"
. Should the door remain open for more than 4 minutes,
the lamp will flash more rapidly.
Abnormal freezer heating alarm
1.
To signal an excessive heating on the part of the freezer
(e.g. momentary power failure), a buzzer will sound and
a message comes up on the display (
A1
) to signal the
dangerous heating of the compartment. To prevent food
from refreezing, the freezer will try to maintain a tempe-
rature of 0°C, thus allowing you to use up the food within
24 hours or to cook them and then refreeze them. You
can turn the buzzer off simply by pressing the
SELECT
button
"D"
.
To return to normal operation and cancel the message
from the display, you need to turn the appliance off and
on again, turning the appliance ON/OFF knob
"B"
.
2.
If the temperature inside the freezer continues to rise to
excessively high values, the buzzer will sound yet again
and another message (
A2
) 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
SELECT
button
"D"
. To return to normal operation
and cancel the message from the display, you need to
turn the appliance off and on again, turning the appliance
ON/OFF knob
"B"
.
