Tips for energy saving

Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.

Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).

In normal temperature conditions, please set the thermostat to the middle setting.

Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh food, make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.

Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.

The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of direct sunlight.

Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.

Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This reduces frost build-up inside the appliance.

The appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.

Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
