Tips for saving energy
Install the appliance in a dry, well
■
ventilated room! The appliance should
not be installed in direct sunlight
or near a heat source (e.g. radiator,
cooker).
If required, use an insulating plate.
Do not block the ventilation openings
■
in the appliance.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool
■
down before placing in the appliance.
Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator
■
compartment and use the low
temperature of the frozen food to cool
refrigerated food.
Open the appliance as briefly as
■
possible.
Ensure that the freezer compartment
■
door is always closed properly.
To avoid increased power
■
consumption, occasionally clean the
back of the appliance.
If available:
■
Fit wall spacers to obtain the indicated
energy rating of the appliance (see
Installation instructions). A reduced
wall gap will not restrict the function
of the appliance. The energy rating
may then increase slightly.
The arrangement of the fittings does
■
not affect the energy rating of the
appliance.
