Practical
energy-saving advice
• Install the appliance in a cool, dry,
well-ventilated room. Remember that
the appliance should not be installed in
a position in which it receives direct
sunlight or near to an active heat
source, such as a cooker, radiator, etc.
• Let food and drink reach room
temperature before putting them in the
freezer.
• Defrost frozen products by placing
them, for example, in the refrigerator
compartment. In this way, the cold
temperatures given off by the frozen
food will help refrigerate the fresh food
in the refrigerator.
• Keep the door on the appliance open
for as short a time as possible.
• Clean the rear grille on the refrigerator
(condenser) to enhance appliance
performance to the full.
