Energy saving tips

1. Ensure your appliance is installed in a well ventilated area.

3. Do not leave the door (s) of your appliance open longer than necessary and ensure they are closed properly after each opening.

4. Defrost frozen food in the fridge compartment, so that frozen food acts as an ice pack to assist cooling in the fridge.
