Energy Saving Tips

Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources of

warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent

operation of the compressor.
In order to guarantee sufficient ventilation, do not cover or obstruct the

sides and base of the appliance.
Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool

first.
Do not leave the lid open any longer than necessary.
Do not set the temperature colder than necessary.
Place frozen goods into the refrigerator for thawing. Cold from frozen

goods is thus used for cooling in the refrigerator.
