Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary
• If the ambient temperature is high and the
Temperature Regulator is set to low tempera-
ture and the appliance is fully loaded, the
compressor may run continuously, causing
frost or ice on the evaporator If this happens,
set the Temperature Regulator toward warmer
settings to allow automatic defrosting and so
a saving in electricity consumption
• If foreseen, do not remove the cold accumu-
lators from the freezer basket
