• High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on
energy use. keep the refrigerator in a position away from
direct sunlight or other sources of heat.
• keep ventilation openings free. Clogged openings lead to
higher use of energy.
• 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.
• the space between the shelves and the rear wall of the
refrigerator compartment must be unobstructed to allow
the cool air to circulate. therefore don't place any food
items against the back.
• turn the thermostat to a lower setting when the
circumstances allow it.
• Before storing fresh cooked food, make sure the food has
cooled at least to room temperature.
• ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so
clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3 to 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.
• keep the condensor on the rear wall always clean, free of
dust or any impurities.
• always consider the instructions, otherwise the
energyconsumption is substantially higher.
