Energy Saving Tips

• Do not install the appliance near boilers, radiators or other sources

of heat. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent
operation of the compressor.

• Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base

and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.

• Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to

cool first.

• Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary.
• Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
• Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food

will then be used to cool the fridge.
