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.
• 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.
