To reduce your appliance’s electrical consuption:
- Install it in a suitable place (see "Installation of your appliance" section).
- Leave the door open as little as possible. Do not place food that is still hot in your refrigerator or
freezer, particularly in the case of soups or dishes that release a lot of steam.
- Ensure that you appliance operates optimally by not allowing too much frost to build up in the
freezer (de-frost it when the frost is more than 5-6 mm thick) and clean its condenser periodically
(See the "Ongoing maintenance of your appliance" section).
- Periodically check the door seals and make sure that the doors close firmly. If they do not, lease
contact our After-sales service.
In compliance with the latest legislation concerning environmental protection, your appliance does
not contain any CFCs. Instead it uses a gas called R600a. The exact type of refrigerant used in
your appliance is also clearly indicated on the identification plate inside your appliance's refrigerator
section, low down on the left-hand wall.
R600a is a non-polluting gas that does not harm the ozone layer and whose contribution to the
greenhouse effect is virtually zero.
