The refrigeration appliance has to cool more often at higher am-
bient temperatures and consumes more energy in the process.
Therefore, you should:
- Install the refrigeration appliance in a well-ventilated room.
- Do not install the refrigeration appliance near to a heat source
(heater element, cooker).
- Protect the refrigeration appliance from direct sunlight.
- Ensure an ideal ambient temperature of 20 °C.
- Clean the ventilation gaps on a regular basis to remove any
dust.
The colder the temperature, the higher the energy consumption.
The following settings are recommended:
- 4 to 5 °C in the refrigerator section.
- -18 °C in the freezer section.
Energy consumption is increased by heat input and impeded air
circulation. Therefore, you should:
- Only open the appliance door(s) when necessary and for as
short a time as possible. Arrange the food in such a way that
makes it easy to find in the appliance.
- Always close the appliance door(s) properly after opening
them.
- Allow hot food and drinks to cool down before placing them in
the refrigeration appliance.
- Store food well packaged or covered.
- Do not overfill the compartments to allow air to circulate.
- Place frozen food in the fridge zone to defrost.
- When placing food in the appliance, make sure that the ventil-
ation slots are not blocked.
