Energy saving tips
Install it well
This means that the appliance should be installed away
from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well-ventilated
room.
Correct temperature settings
Set the refrigerator or freezer temperature knob to one of
the medium settings. Very low temperatures will not only
consume a great deal of energy but will neither improve
or lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively low
temperature may in fact spoil vegetables, cold meats and
cheese.
Do not overfill
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air
circulation. Overfilling your appliance will prevent this
circulation and overwork the compressor.
Shut the doors
Open your appliance only when strictly necessary;
remember that every time you open the door most of
the cold air will be lost. The motor will have to run, and
consume energy, to restore the correct temperature.
Check the door gaskets
Keep the gaskets clean and soft so that they fit closely
against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.
Never store hot foods
A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase
the temperature significantly; allow food to cool to room
temperature before storing.
