Tips for saving energy
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room, but
D
not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (e.g.
radiator, cooker, etc.). If required, use an insulating
plate.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
D
placing in the appliance!
When thawing frozen products, place them in the
D
refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen food
then cools the food in the refrigerator.
Open and close the door as briefly as possible.
D
A layer of hoarfrost in the freezer compartment will
D
impair refrigeration of the frozen food and increase
power consumption. Defrost the appliance if frost
forms!
Occasionally clean the rear of the appliance with
D
a vacuum cleaner or paint brush to prevent an
increased power consumption.
