9. Tips on saving energy
In order to achieve the best possible cooling performance with low energy
consumption, observe the following:
Do not position the appliance near a heat source (radiator or cooker etc.).
The location should be not too warm, dry, dust-free and well ventilated.
Ensure that air can circulate freely around the appliance.
The energy consumption will be lowest if all bottle racks (8) are left inside the
appliance when it is in use.
If the door is left open for a long time, this can cause the temperature inside
the appliance zones to increase significantly. Only open the door briefly when
loading and removing foodstuffs. Less cold can escape if the door is left open for
only a short time and therefore the appliance requires less energy.
Select the temperature control setting according to how full the appliance is.
Ensure that the door seals (2) are undamaged and that the door closes properly.
If the appliance is left empty for an extended period of time, switch it off. Defrost
and clean the appliance and allow it to dry. Leave the door open to prevent
mould from forming in the appliance.
10. Switching off the appliance
Unplug the appliance from the power socket to switch off the appliance
completely.
Wait 3–5 minutes before reconnecting the appliance to an earthed mains socket.
11. Cleaning
Regularly clean surfaces that may come into contact with food and accessible
drain systems.
DANGER!
Risk of electric shock!
There is a risk of electric shock from electrified parts.
Before starting any cleaning or maintenance work,
pull the mains plug out of the socket (pull on the
plug, not the cable). If the plug is not accessible, the
corresponding fuse for the mains electricity supply
to the house needs to be switched off.
Do not touch the mains plug with wet hands.
