TIPS
• A high ambient temperature will have a negative effect on the
energy consumption. Direct sunlight and other heat sources near
the appliance also have a negative effect.
• Keep ventilation holes free. Covered and dirty holes cause a higher
energy consumption. Ensure sufficient space around the larder,
so that a proper ventilation and air flow around the appliance is
possible.
• Do not open the door of the appliance more often than necessary
and leave the door open as briefly as possible.
• The distance between the shelves and the rear wall ensures a free
air circulation. Do not place food against the rear wall.
• Set the thermostat to a lower setting if circumstances allow.
• Allow cooked food that you want to store in the appliance to cool
down to room temperature before placing it in the appliance.
• Frost or ice will increase power consumption. Therefore, these
should be removed regularly once they are 3 to 5 mm thick.
• A door rubber that does not close properly could increase the
power consumption. Therefore, have it replaced by a skilled person
in time.
• If the instructions are not observed, this could lead to a higher
power consumption.
