Information on the energy consumption and noises

Room temperature, ventilation and cavity depth

Ambient temperature

The appliance is designed for a specific climate class. Depending on the climate class, the appliance can be operated at the following room temperatures.

Climate classPermitted ambient temperature
SN+10 °C to 32 °C
N+16 °C to 32 °C
ST+16 °C to 38 °C
T+16 °C to 43 °C

The climate class can be found on the rating plate.

PHILIPS LM9012/20 L OR BARISTA - Ambient temperature - 1

Note

The appliance is fully functional within the room temperature limits of the indicated climatic class. If an appliance of climatic class SN is operated at colder room temperatures, the appliance will not be damaged up to a temperature of +5^ .

Ventilation

The air on the rear panel of the appliance heats up. Conduction of the heated air must not be obstructed. Otherwise, the refrigeration unit must work harder. This increases power consumption. Therefore: Never cover or block the ventilation openings!

Cavity depth

A cavity depth of 560~mm is recommended for the appliance. If the cavity depth is smaller - at least 550~mm - the energy consumption increases slightly.

Installation location

Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room. The installation location should neither be exposed to direct sunlight nor near a heat source, e. g. a cooker, radiator, etc. If installation next to a heat source is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or observe the following minimum distances to a heat source:

3 cm to electric or gas cookers.
30 cm to an oil or coal-fired cooker.

Connecting the appliance

After installing the appliance, wait at least 1 hour until the appliance is switched on. During transportation the oil in the compressor may have flowed into the refrigeration system.

Before switching on the appliance for the first time, clean the interior of the appliance (see chapter "Cleaning the appliance").

Electrical connection

The socket must be near the appliance and also freely accessible following installation of the appliance.

The appliance complies with the protection class I. Connect the appliance to 220-240 V/50 Hz alternating current via a correctly installed socket with protective conductor. The socket must be fused with a 10 to 16 A fuse.

For appliances operated in non-European countries, check whether the stated voltage and current type match the values of your mains supply. These specifications can be found on the rating plate.

Warning

Never connect the appliance to electronic energy saver plugs.

Our appliances can be used with mains and sine-controlled inverters. Mains-controlled inverters are used for photovoltaic systems which are connected directly to the national grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be used for isolated applications (e.g. on ships or in mountain lodges) which are not connected directly to the national grid.

These operating instructions refer to several models.

Usable capacity

Information on the usable capacity can be found inside your appliance on the rating plate (see diagram at chapter "Customer service").

The refrigerator compartment is the ideal storage location for meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs, ready meals and pastries.

Storing food

Store fresh, undamaged food. The quality and freshness will then be retained for longer.
In the case of ready-made products and bottled goods, observe the best-before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.
- To retain aroma, colour and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing in the appliance. This will prevent the transfer of flavours and the discolouration of plastic parts in the refrigerator compartment.
- Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.

Note

Avoid contact between food and rear panel. Otherwise the air circulation will be impaired. Food or packaging could freeze to the rear panel.

Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment

The air circulation in the refrigerator compartment creates different chill zones:

Note

  • Coldest zone is between the arrow stamped on the side and the glass shelf situated below.
    Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zone.
    Warmest zone is at the very top of the door.

Note

Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. Cheese can then continue to release its flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.

PHILIPS LM9012/20 L OR BARISTA - Note - 1

Vegetable container with humidity controller

The vegetable container is the optimum storage location for fresh fruit and vegetables. A humidity controller and a special seal can be used to adjust the air humidity in the vegetable container. This allows fresh fruit and vegetables to be stored twice as long as with conventional storage.

The air humidity in the vegetable container can be set according to the type and amount of products to be stored:

  • Mainly fruit as well as for a large load - lower air humidity
  • Mainly vegetables as well as for a mixed load or small load - higher air humidity

PHILIPS LM9012/20 L OR BARISTA - Vegetable container with humidity controller - 1

Notes

Fruit sensitive to cold (e.g. pineapple, banana, papaya and citrus fruit) and vegetables sensitive to cold (e.g. aubergines, cucumbers, zucchini, peppers, tomatoes and potatoes) should be stored outside the refrigerator at temperatures of approx. +8^ C to +12^ C for optimum preservation of quality and flavour.
- Condensation may form in the vegetable container depending on the type and quantity of products stored. Remove condensation with a dry cloth and adjust air humidity in the vegetable container with the humidity controller.

Is used to:

  • store deepfrozen food,
    make ice cubes,
  • freeze small quantities of food.

Notes

  • You can tell from the handle whether the freezer compartment door is closed properly.
    The freezer compartment door engages audibly.
  • If the door is open, the frozen food will thaw. The freezer compartment will become covered in thick ice.

Also: waste of energy due to high power consumption!
