How to save energy
01. The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as necessary; do not
place hot food inside the refrigerator.
02. The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid increased energy
consumption, and the formation of excess ice and/or condensation inside.
03. Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature homogenous inside the
refrigerator. For this reason, it is important to properly distribute the food, to
facilitate the flow of air.
04. Do not hang clothing, cloths or objects on the condenser, located behind the
refrigerator. This will affect its functioning, causing strain on the compressor
(motor) and increase energy consumption.
05. During prolonged absences (example: vacations) it is advisable to
disconnect the refrigerator, remove all the food, and clean it. The door should
be left slightly open to avoid mold and unpleasant odors. This will not affect
the refrigerator when it is reconnected.
06. During short absences (ex.: holidays), the refrigerator can remain on.
However, remember that prolonged power outages may occur while you are
gone.
Transportation
To move the refrigerator, do not lean it to the right side of the person facing it. For
short distances, lean it back or to one of its sides, to a 30° angle at most. For long
distances, such as when moving, keep it in an upright position.
Defrost
This appliance defrost automatically, do not worry about this.
06. Leafy greens should be kept in plastic bags in the vegetable and fruit bin.
07. Dry all foods before placing them in the refrigerator.
08. Do not lean food or objects against the internal back wall of the refrigerator.
09. Food should be well wrapped to keep it from drying out or giving off odors
10. Hot foods should be cooled to room temperature before being placed in the
compartments; otherwise they will raise the internal temperature of the
compartments, as well as the appliance's energy consumption.
Hints and suggestions
01. Do not let fats of any kind come into contact with the plastic parts of the
refrigerator. Under no circumstances should you lubricate the refrigerator.
02. Glass and plastic bottles and metallic containers should not be placed in the
freezer compartment, unless so recommended by the manufacturer on the
product packaging.
03. Foods and liquids should not be stored in open containers in the refrigerator.
Carbonated beverages should not be frozen.
04. To freeze fresh foods, use the upper compartment (freezer). Package the
foods properly before freezing. Avoid storing fresh food next to food that has
already been frozen.
05. If there are any problems with the refrigerator, transfer all the food to a
different refrigerator.
06. Excessively heavy, pointy or corrosive objects should not be placed on top of
the refrigerator.
07. The refrigerator doors should only be opened when strictly necessary during
a power outage.
08. Do not touch the food or containers inside the refrigerator with wet hands, to
keep them from freezing.
09. Do not store bottled or canned food, since they expand when they freeze; this
can cause the container to burst.
10. Do not overfill the refrigerator with food, as this may block the circulation of air
and increase energy consumption.
11. Use hermetically sealed recipients and plastic bags to keep food from drying
out, and to keep odors from mixing together.
12. Clean the food, bottles and containers before storing them in the refrigerator.
If necessary, dry them off first.
13. Do not place food inside the temperature sensor or along the rear inside wall
of the refrigerator.
14. Radishes, bananas, pumpkins, onions and canned foods do not need to be
refrigerated.
