Saving energy when using your freezer
Installing:
o Install the appliance in a cool position. If it is placed in direct
sunlight or next to an oven or other heat source, the energy
consumption can increase substantially.
o Ensure the appliance is installed with the correct ventilation
requirements. Restricting ventilation can increase the energy
consumption by 15%.
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.
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, 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.
