ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
Installthefridgeorfreezerinacoolplaceoutofdirectsunlightandawayfrom
cookers,heaters,dishwashersoranyhotairemittingitems.
Donotsetthefridgeandfreezertemperatureslowerthannecessary.Settheinternal
temperaturewithinthecorrectrangee.g.adjustthethermostatatmiddlepositionfor
4°Cinthefridgecompartmentand-18°Cinthefreezerrespectively.
Letpre-cookedfoodscooldownbeforeplacingtheminthefridgeorfreezer.is
willpreventtheinternaltemperatureofthefridgefromrising.
Keepyourfridgefull,butnotovercrowded,thishelpsreduce“cold”airloss.
Meanwhile,avoidoverloadingthefridgeorfreezer.Trytoleaveabout20%freespace
foraircirculation.
Topreventcoldairescaping,limitthefrequencyofopeningdoor.Whenretuning
fromshopping,sortfoodstobekeptinyourfridgebeforeopeningthedoor.Only
openthedoortoputfoodinortakeitout.
Makesurethedoorsealiscleanandingoodcondition.Itshouldholdapieceof
papertightlyinplacewhenshut.
Defrostregularlyorwheniceismorethan5mmthick.ickicecoveringtheinner
