Fig. 2 Tips on Saving Energy - Install it well And therefore far from heat sources, from direct sunlight, in a well aired place and according to the distances indicated in the section on "Installation/Aeration". - Just the right cold Too cold a compartment 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 temperature 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. [. . . ] - Dishwashable: All the removable parts can be cleaned by soaking in hot soapy water or detergent. If you own a dishwasher, you may wash these parts in the dishwasher.
