Tips for saving energy
S Install the appliance in a dry, well
ventilated room, but not in direct
sunlight and not near a heat source
(e.g.Ăradiator, cooker, etc.). If required,
use an insulating plate.
S Allow warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing in the appliance!
S When thawing frozen products, place
them in the refrigerator. The low
temperature of the frozen products
cools the food in the refrigerator.
S Open and close the door as briefly
asĂpossible.
S A layer of hoarfrost in the freezer
compartment will impair refrigeration
ofĂthe frozen food and increase power
consumption. Defrost the appliance if
frost forms!
S Ensure that the freezer compartment
door has been closed properly.
S Occasionally clean the rear of the
appliance with a vacuum cleaner or
paint brush to prevent an increased
power consumption.
