How to save energy

S The freezer should be installed in a dry,
well ventilated room, not exposed to
direct sunlight and not placed near
a heat source (radiator, etc.).
S Do not block the ventilation openings
in the appliance.
S Allow warm food to cool down before
placing it in the freezer.
S Thaw frozen food by placing it in the
refrigerator. The low temperature of
the frozen food cools the food in the
refrigerator.
