Tips on Saving Energy

- Install the Appliance Properly

In other words, away from sources of heat and direct sun-

light, in a well ventilated room complying with the mini-

mum distances indicated in the paragraph entitled, “ Instal-

lation/Ventilation.”

THE ACTUAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF THE

APPLIANCE DEPENDS ON THE WAY THE SAME IS USED

AND ON ITS LOCATION.

The consumption tests were performed in 560mm deep

column units, the most common installation setting for this

appliance.

- Use the Right Temperature Setting

A setting which is too cold increases energy consumption.

- Do not Overfill

To conserve food properly, the cold air must circulate freely

within the refrigerator. If it is overfilled, this will prevent proper

air circulation, forcing the compressor to work continuously.

- Close the Doors

Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time

you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the tem-

perature to the proper level again, the motor must work for

a long time, consuming energy.

- Keep an Eye on the Seals

Keep the seals clean and make sure that they adhere well to

the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.

- No Hot Foods

A hot pot or pan placed in the refrigerator immediately raises

the temperature several degrees. Let hot cookware and food

cool to ambient temperature before placing them in the re-

frigerator.

Cleaning and Special Maintenance

- The materials used to build your appliance are hygienic

and do not transmit odors. However, to preserve this quality

of your appliance, the food stored in it must be well closed

and covered to prevent spills which could stain it and cause

unpleasant odors.

- Only water and baking soda. To clean both the interior and

exterior, use a sponge with warm water and baking soda,

which is, among other things, a good disinfectant. If you do

not have any in the house, you can use a neutral soap.

- What not to use. Never use abrasives, bleach or ammonia.

Solvents and similar products are strictly prohibited.

- All the removable part should be taken out and allowed to

soak in hot water and dishwashing soap. Rinse and dry them

well before putting them back in the refrigerator.

- When the appliance is not used for a long time. If you

decide not to use the appliance (during the summer), it must

cleaned and the doors left open to prevent the formation of

mold and unpleasant odors.

- How to replace the refrigerator lamp. The lamp is located

on the pack part of the

thermostat knob box. When

replacing the lamp,

disconnect the appliance

from the mains, unscrew the

burned out lamp and replace

it with another following the

steps illustrated in figure 8.

Make sure that the wattage

is not greater than 15W.

Keeping Your Appliance in Shape

Before cleaning the refrigerator, disconnect it from the

electrical mains (by removing the plug from the socket

or by turning off the main electricity switch for the

apartment or house).

Defrosting

Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed

up the defrosting process, unless they have been rec-

ommended by the manufacturer.

How to Defrost the Refrigerator

This appliance defrosts automatically and the water is

channeled to the back toward the drain installed for this

purpose (fig. 6 and 7). Here, the heat produced by the com-

pressor will make it evaporate. The only thing you must do

is to periodically check and clean the hole of the drain, which

is located behind the vegetable crispers, so that the water

drains properly.

How to Defrost the Freezer

There in no need to defrost the freezer since the "ventilated

cold air" cooling system prevents the formation of frost and

ice on the walls.
