ture of the frozen food will help cool
the refrigerator compartment while
the food is thawing. This will save
energy. Frozen food left to thaw
outside of the appliance will result in
a waste of energy.
4. Drinks or other liquids should be

If left uncovered, the humidity inside
the appliance will increase, therefo-
re the appliance uses more energy.
Keeping drinks and other liquids
covered helps preserve their smell
and taste.
5. Avoid keeping the doors open for
long periods and opening the doors
too frequently as warm air will enter
the appliance and cause the com-
pressor to switch on unnecessarily
often.
6. Keep the covers of the different tem-
