14 Tips for saving energy
Do not place the appliance close to stoves, heating elements or other
heat sources. With a high ambient temperature the compressor
runs more frequently and for longer. This leads to unavoidable high
power consumption.
Make sure that there is sufficient aeration and ventilation at the
appliance base and to the back of the appliance. Ventilation openings
must never be covered.
The door should only remain open for as long as required.
The door seals of your appliance must be fully intact so that the doors
close correctly.
Do not set the temperature any lower than required.
15 Disposal of old appliances
Ensure that these are disposed of in an environmentally friendly
manner. Make disused old appliances unusable prior to disposal. Pull
the mains plug out of the socket and disconnect the plug from the
mains cable.
This appliance is excellent according to the specifications of
