Energyconsumption
(electricity costs)
The following guide will help you reduce the running cost
of your new refrigerator. This will save you money and help
conserve our valuable energy resources.
1. If you keep your old refrigerator, save power by
switching it off when not in use.
2. Do not set your freezer temperature too low. After 24 hours,
ice cream should be rm but able to be scooped out
with a spoon without bending the handle. If ice cream is
rmer than this (or too soft), adjust the freezer temperature
controls (see ‘Temperature control’, page 8).
3. Ensure that the refrigerator doors seal properly as
you close them.
4. Before you open the refrigerator doors, decide what
you want to put in or take out. This will minimize the
time you have the doors open.
5. It is best to have the refrigerator in a place that is out
of direct sunlight and away from heating appliances
of any kind. For example, do not place the refrigerator
next to a cooker, stove or dishwasher.
6. Allow hot foods to cool to room temperature
before you put them in your freezer.
7. Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator section.
8. If you keep the freezer compartment lled to
capacity, your food mass will help maintain the
freezer temperature when you open the door.
9. Do not block air vents. Doing so may cause the
refrigerator to run longer and use more energy.
Turningofftherefrigerator
If you are leaving for a short holiday, there is no need
to turn off your refrigerator .
If you are going on a long holiday and want to turn the
refrigerator off, follow the steps below.
1. Take all the food out of the refrigerator and freezer
compartments.
2. Switch off the refrigerator and remove the electric
cord from the power point.
3. Clean the inside.
4. Leave the doors open. This prevents bacteria from
growing and causing smells in the refrigerator.
Power failure
If there is a power failure in your area, keep the door to the
freezer closed. Most foods in your freezer will stay frozen for
24 hours.
