6. HINTS AND TIPS

6.1 Hints for energy saving
• Most efficient use of energy is ensured in
the configuration with the drawers in the
bottom part of the appliance and shelves
evenly distributed. Position of the door
bins does not affect energy consumption.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than necessary.
• Do not set too high temperature to save
energy unless it is required by the
characteristics of the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the
temperature control is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice
formation on the evaporator. In this case,
set the temperature control toward higher
temperature to allow automatic defrosting
and to save energy this way.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover
the ventilation grilles or holes.
6.2 Hints for fresh food refrigeration

good preservation of fresh food.
