Tips for saving energy
■ Install the appliance in a dry, well
ventilated room! The appliance should
not be installed in direct sunlight
or near a heat source (e.g. radiator,
cooker).
If required, use an insulating plate.
■ Select 560 mm cavity depth.
A smaller cavity depth will result in
a higher energy consumption.
■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing in the appliance.
■ Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator
compartment and use the low
temperature of the frozen food to cool
refrigerated food.
■ Open the appliance as briefly as
possible.
■ Regularly defrost the freezer
compartment to remove the layer of
frost!
A layer of hoarfrost will impair
refrigeration of the frozen food and
increase power consumption.
■ Ensure that the freezer compartment
door has been closed properly.
■ Occasionally clean the rear of the
appliance to prevent an increased
power consumption.
■ The arrangement of the fittings
does not affect the energy rating of
the appliance.
