Normal energy consump-
tion
Drawers and shelves ar-
ranged as they were when
the appliance was delivered.
Only open the door when
necessary and for as short a
time as possible. Store food
in an organised way.
Take an insulated cool bag
when shopping and load
food in the appliance as
soon as possible.
Allow hot food and drinks to
cool down before placing
them in the appliance.
Store food well packaged.
Do not over-fill the appliance
to allow air to circulate.
Defrost the freezer when a
layer of ice 0.5 cm (max.)
thick has built up.
Increased energy con-
sumption
Frequent opening of the
door for long periods will
cause a loss of coldness.
The appliance works harder
to cool down and the com-
pressor runs for longer peri-
ods.
Hot food or food at room
temperature raises the tem-
perature inside the appli-
ance. The appliance works
harder to cool down and the
compressor runs for longer
periods.
The evaporation or condens-
ation of liquids will cause a
loss of coldness.
Poor air circulation will
cause a loss of coldness.
A build-up of ice slows
down the cooling process.
