Saving energy How to save energy: Installation lo- The refrigeration appliance has to cool more often at higher am- cation 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, range).
Page 29
Saving energy - Use the wall spacers. The wall spacers on the back of your re- frigeration appliance are designed to ensure that the declared energy consumption is achieved.
