ENERGY SAVING TIPS
- 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 tem-
perature 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. Let hot cookware and food
cool to ambient temperature before placing them in the re-
frigerator.
BUZZERS AND VISUAL WARNINGS
Door open alarm
If the refrigerator door is left open for more than two
minutes, the internal light begins to flash; a buzzer sounds,
and the latter can be turned off by shutting (or by opening
and then shutting) the door or by pressing the RESET
ALARM (C) button.
Abnormal freezer heating alarm
1. To signal an excessive heating on the part of the freezer,
a buzzer will sound and a scrolling text message comes
up on the display to signal an excessive heating of the
compartment. To prevent food from refreezing, the freezer
will try to maintain a temperature of 0°C, thus allowing
you to use up the food within 24 hours. Cooked food
can be refrozen. You can turn the buzzer off simply by
pressing the RESET ALARM (C) button.
To return to normal operation and cancel the alarm
message from the display, press the RESET ALARM (C)
button again.
2. If the temperature inside the freezer continues to rise to
excessively high values, the buzzer will sound yet again
and another scrolling text message will come up on the
display to signal the dangerous state of overheating. We
recommend you check the conditions of the food, as it
may be necessary to throw it away. The buzzer can be
turned off by simply pressing the RESET ALARM (C) button.
To return to normal operation and cancel the alarm
message from the display, press the RESET ALARM (C)
button again.
