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.
■
Do not block the ventilation openings in
the appliance.
■
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing in the appliance.
■
Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment
and use the low temperature of the frozen food
to cool refrigerated food.
■
Open the appliance as briefly as possible.
■
Ensure that the freezer compartment door is always
closed properly.
■
If available:
Fit wall spacers to obtain the indicated energy rating
of the appliance (see “Installing the appliance”,
section “Ventilation”). A reduced wall gap will not
restrict the function of the appliance. The energy
rating may then increase slightly.
■
The arrangement of the fittings does not affect the
energy rating of the appliance.
