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°Cin the freezer respectively.
Let pre-cooked foods cool down before placing them in the fridge or freezer. Th 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. Thick ice covering the inner
sides signif antly increases energy use.
The combination of the drawers, baskets and shelves shown in the device
description is optimal for ecient energy savings.
Changing the combination proposition could alter the eciency.
