Tips for saving energy

1. Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and not

near a heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.

2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.

3. When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator compartment. The low

temperature of the frozen food will help to cool the refrigerator compartment when it is

thawing. This will help to save energy. If the frozen food is put out, it results in a waste

of energy.

4. Cover drinks or other liquids when placing them in the appliance Otherwise humidity

increases in the appliance. Therefore, the working time gets longer. Also covering

drinks and other liquids helps to preserve smell and taste.

5. Try to avoid keeping the doors open for long periods or opening the doors too

frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on

unnecessarily often.

6.

closed

7. Door gasket must be clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.

8. Energy consumption of your appliance is declared without drawers and fully loaded in

freezer compartmant.

9. For saving energy, do not use volume between the load limit and the door, along the

load limit line. Load limit line is also used in energy consumption declaration.
