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.
■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing in the appliance!
■ When thawing frozen products, place
them in the refrigerator. Use
the coldness of the frozen food
to cool food.
■ Open the appliance as briefly
as possible.
■ 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.
■ Ensure that the freezer compartment
door is always closed properly.
■ Occasionally clean
the rear of the appliance
with a vacuum cleaner or paint brush
to prevent an increased power
consumption.
