Energy saving tips

To guarantee adequate ventilation follow 

installation instructions.

Insufficient ventilation at the back of the 

product increases energy consumption and 

decreases cooling efficiency.

Frequent door opening might cause an 

increase in Energy Consumption.

The internal temperature of the appliance 

and the Energy Consumption may be 

affected also by the ambient temperature, 

as well as location of the appliance. 

Temperature setting should take into 

consideration these factors.

Reduce door opening to a minimum.

When thawing frozen food, place in the 

refrigerator. The low temperature of the 

frozen products cools the food in the 

refrigerator. Allow warm food and drinks to 

cool down before placing in the appliance.

Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator 

has no impact on the efficient usage of 

energy. Food should be placed on the 

shelves in such way to ensure proper air 

circulation (food should not touch each other 

and distance between food and rear wall 

should be kept).

You can increase storage capacity of frozen 

food by removing baskets and, if present, 

Stop Frost shelf.

Do not worry about noises coming from the 

compressor which are described as normal 

noises in this product’s Quick Guide.
