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.
Replace any food removed
as quickly as possible, be-
fore it begins to thaw.
Allow hot food and drinks to
cool down before placing
them in the appliance.
Store food covered or pack-
aged.
Place frozen food in the refri-
gerator to defrost.
Do not over-fill the appliance
to allow air to circulate.
Defrost the freezer compart-
ment 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 will cool down
and the compressor will run
for longer periods.
Hot food or food at room
temperature raises the tem-
perature inside the appli-
ance. The appliance will cool
down and the compressor
will run 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.
