Indesit SD 167 [17/20] Energy saving tips

Energy saving tips

Install it well

This means that the appliance should be installed away

from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well-ventilated

room.

Correct temperature settings

Set the refrigerator or freezer temperature knob to one of

the medium settings. Very low temperatures will not only

consume a great deal of energy but will neither improve

or lengthen the storage life of the food. Excessively low

temperature may in fact spoil vegetables, cold meats and

cheese.

Do not overﬁll

Remember that proper storage of food requires good air

circulation. Overﬁlling your appliance will prevent this

circulation and overwork the compressor.

Shut the doors

Open your appliance only when strictly necessary;

remember that every time you open the door most of

the cold air will be lost. The motor will have to run, and

consume energy, to restore the correct temperature.

Check the door gaskets

Keep the gaskets clean and soft so that they ﬁt closely

against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.

Never store hot foods

A container of hot food in the refrigerator will increase

the temperature signiﬁcantly; allow food to cool to room

temperature before storing.
