Cleaning and Maintenance:
o
Occasionally clean the condenser coils (if present) at the back of
the appliance to maintain a high performance level.
o
Clean the door gasket with warm water or a neutral detergent
that leaves no residue. A tight-sealing door gasket is critical to
the efficiency of your appliance.
Usage:
o
Do not open the door repeatedly or more frequently than you
have to.
o
Do not set the thermostat too low. A change of just one degree
can effect the energy consumption by 5%. Use a thermometer to
check the temperature.
o
The freezer compartment should operate at -15 to -18 degrees
Celsius. The refrigerator should operate at around 3 to 4 degrees
Celsius.
o
Allow food to sufficiently cool before putting it in the appliance
(but don’t let it sit at room temperature for too long).
o
In the freezer compartment, food packages should be scattered
and never grouped or stacked together until they are completely
frozen.
o
If you are going away for a long period of time, turn off the
appliance, empty and clean it and leave the door ajar.
o
If you have a second appliance that is not used, make sure that
it is stored with the power off and the door left ajar until it is
actually required.
Disposing:
o
If you're going to throw out your old fridge, see if there's a
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) recycler in your area. The
government department which looks after the environment in
your area may be able to help you.
