TIPS
Tips on keeping food
Only buy food in undamaged packaging.
Never storage product’s too close together
and ensure a sufficient distance for optimum
air circulation in the refrigerator.
Place deep-frozen food in the freezer as soon
as possible after purchase. Make sure that it
doesn’t defrost during transport.
The table below gives the recommended
storage times for frozen fresh foods.
Energy tips
Position and arrangement
High ambient temperatures have a negative
effect on energy use. Keep the freezer in a
position away from direct sunlight or other
sources of heat.
Keep ventilation openings free. Clogged (dirty)
openings lead to higher use of energy.
Use
Try not to open the door too often, especially
when the weather is wet and hot. Once you
open the door, mind to close it as soon as
possible.
Turn the thermostat knob from higher to
lower setting as soon as possible (depends
on how loaded the appliance is, ambient
temperature).
Before loading the appliance with fresh
food, make sure it was cooled to ambient
temperature.
Ice and frost layer increase energy
consumption, so do clean the appliance as
soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.
If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that
the sealing is poor, the energy consumption
is substantially higher. To restore efficiency,
replace the gasket.
The condenser on the rear wall should be
always clean, free of dust or any impurities.
Every now and then check if the appliance
is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air
circulation behind the appliance).
Always consider instructions stated in
sections ‘Positioning and Energy Saving
Tips’, otherwise the energy consumption is
substantially higher.
