Tips For Saving Energy; Operating Noises - Siemens KD-N series User Instruction

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.
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.
Occasionally clean the rear
■
of the appliance 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.
