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.
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.
Open the appliance as briefly
■
as possible.
Occasionally clean
■
the rear of the appliance
with a vacuum cleaner or paint brush
to prevent an increased power
consumption.
If available: Fit wall spacers to obtain
■
the indicated energy rating of the
appliance (see Installation
instructions). A reduced wall gap will
not restrict the function of the
appliance. The energy rating may then
change slightly. The gap of 75 mm
must not be exceeded.
