For household refrigerating appliances
Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is
wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to close it as soon as
possible.
Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated
(adequate air circulation behind the appliance).
For household refrigerating appliances, in normal temperature
conditions, please arrange the thermostat at the middle setting.
Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, make
sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.
Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do clean the
appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.
If it is the outer condenser, the rear wall should be always clean, free
of dust or any impurities.
Always consider instructions stated in sections Positioning and
Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption is
substantially higher.
