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.
Select 560 mm cavity depth.
■
A smaller cavity depth will result in
a higher energy consumption.
Do not block the ventilation openings
■
in the appliance.
The ice packs slow down the thawing
■
process of the frozen food in the event
of a power failure or malfunction.
Place the ice packs directly on
the food in the top compartment.
Open the appliance as briefly as
■
possible!
The briefer the appliance door is
opened, the lower the ice formation
on the freezer shelves.
Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator
■
compartment and use the low
temperature of the frozen food to cool
refrigerated food.
Regularly defrost the freezer
■
compartment to remove the layer
of frost.
A layer of hoarfrost will impair
refrigeration of the frozen food
and increase power consumption.
Occasionally clean the rear
■
of the appliance to prevent an
increased power consumption.
The arrangement of the fittings
■
does not affect the energy rating of
the appliance.
