Use

  • The fridge must be positioned in accordance with the installation instructions, at a distance of approximately 10 cm from the wall.
  • It is not advisable to keep various objects and electrical appliances such as toasters, microwaves on the fridge, or to place them next to cookers and heating appliances or in direct sunlight to avoid an increase in the electricity consumption of the fridge.
  • For the most efficient operation, the temperature in the freezer should be set at -18 ˚C and in the fridge compartment at +5 ˚C (please also refer to the instructions of the manufacturer in the user manual), as each degree the temperature is decreased increases energy consumption by around 5%.
  • Keep an eye on how full your fridge is. If the fridge is less than 60% full, it will operate inefficiently and waste electricity. Meanwhile, if the fridge is more than 90% full, the internal air circulation doesn’t occur and electricity consumption also increases.
  • It is not advisable to put unpacked food in the fridge, as it dries out and moisture builds up on the walls of the fridge, thus damaging the products and increasing the energy consumption of the fridge.
  • It is also not advisable to put hot food in the fridge, as this also creates excess moisture in the fridge compartment, as well as drastic changes in temperature and the need to use extra energy to bring the temperature back down. Changes in temperature are also undeniably detrimental to the storage of other products and unnecessarily increase electricity consumption.
