5. HINTS AND TIPS
5.1 Hints for energy saving
• Freezer: The original configuration
ensures the most efficient use of energy.
• Fridge: The configuration with the drawers
in the bottom part of the appliance and
shelves evenly distributed ensures the
most efficient use of energy. Position of
the door bins does not affect energy
consumption.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than necessary.
• Freezer: The colder the temperature
setting, the higher the energy
consumption.
• Fridge: Do not set too high temperature
unless it is required by the characteristics
of the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the
temperature control is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice
formation on the evaporator. In this case,
set the temperature control toward higher
temperature to allow automatic defrosting.
• Do not cover the ventilation grilles or
holes.
5.2 Hints for freezing
• Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids,
in particular drinks containing carbon
dioxide. They may explode during
freezing.
