Energy Saving Tips

• Do not install the appliance near cookers, radia-
tors or other sources of warmth. High ambient
temperatures cause longer, more frequent opera-
tion of the compressor.
• Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the
appliance base and at the back wall of the appli-
ance. Never cover air vent openings.

age hole in the rear wall of the refrigeration cham-
ber with the aid of the green strip inserted into the
