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, cooker 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.
Note:
If this is not possible, attach an insulating plate between the
appliance and heat source.
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 does not warm up so intensely. The
appliance must cool less frequently and therefore consumes
less power.
Transport cooled wine in a cool bag and place in the appli-
ance quickly.
Always leave a space between the bottles and the back wall. The air can circulate, and the temperature will remain con-
stant. The appliance must cool less frequently and therefore
consumes less power.
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings.
The appliance consumes less power if the warm air can
escape freely.
Vacuum the ventilation openings once a year.
