Tips for Energy saving
 Disconnect the appliance from the power supply,
if it isn't in use.
 Do not install the appliance near stoves, heaters
or other heat sources. In case of higher ambient
temperatures, the compressor will run more fre-
quently and longer.
 Ensure enough ventilation at the bottom and rear
side. Never block ventilation openings.
 Place all shelves, racks or drawers (depending on
the model) in their original position.
 Adjust the temperature not colder than necessary.
 Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the
appliance.
 Open the unit door only as necessary.
 Defrost the unit regularly (model dependent).
 The seal of the appliance door must be complete-
ly intact, so that the door closes properly.

from the evaporator. Otherwise it can be damaged.
The fridge has an automatic defrosting system. Dur-
