3.4. Energy Saving Advice
•
Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat, such as a cooker,
dishwasher or radiator.
•
Locate the appliance in a cool well-ventilated room and make sure that
the air vents are clear.
•
Try to avoid keeping the door open for a long time, warm air will enter the
cabinet and may cause a build up of ice as well as affecting the energy
consumption. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from
closing properly.
•
Ensure that the door seal is clean and there are no tears or splits.
•
Keep the most perishable foods, (those with a short shelf-life, such as
cooked meats), in the coldest part of the fridge. The Salad Crisper Box is
the warmest part of your fridge and should be used for vegetables, salads
and fruits etc. (see Description of Appliance on Page 3).
•
Do not overload the fridge: the cooling air that circulates to keep the
fridge cold gets blocked and pockets of warm air form.
•
Do not put hot food into the fridge – let it cool down first.
3.5. In the Event of a Power Failure
If there is a power failure, keep the door closed. When the power has been
restored the appliance will start to operate but it may take some time to achieve the
pre-set operating temperature. Check the condition of your stored food items and
liquids.
