Tips for saving energy
If you follow the instructions below, your appliance will use less power.
Note: The arrangement of the features does not affect the energy consumption of the appliance.
--------
Installing the appliance
Keep the appliance out of direct sunlight. The appliance needs to cool less frequently at low ambient
temperatures and therefore consumes less power.
Install the appliance as far away as possible from heating ele-
ments, cookers and other heat sources:
At least 1¼" (3 cm) from electric or gas cookers.
At least 11¾" (30 cm) from oil or solid-fuel cookers.
Select an installation location with a room temperature of
approx. 20°C.
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings.
If the warm air can escape, the appliance needs to cool less
frequently and therefore consumes less power.
Ventilate the room daily.
Using the appliance
Open the appliance door only briefly. The air in the appliance will not warm up as much. The appli-
ance will need to cool less frequently, and therefore consume
less power.
Transport purchased food in a cool bag and place in the
appliance quickly.
Allow warm food and beverages to cool down before placing
in the appliance.
Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator compartment to utilise
the low temperature of the frozen food.
Always leave a space between the food and the back wall.
The air can then circulate and the humidity will remain con-
stant.The appliance will need to cool less frequently, and
therefore consume less power.
Pack food airtight.
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings. The appliance consumes less power if warm air can escape.
Vacuum the ventilation openings once a year.
