Energy saving tips
▶Make sure the appliance is properly ventilated (see INSTALLATION).
▶Do not install the appliance in direct sunlight or in the near of heat sources (e.g.
stoves, heaters).
▶Avoid unnecessarily low temperature in the appliance. The energy consumption in-
creases the lower the temperature in the appliance is set.
▶Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.
▶
▶Make sure the door always closes correctly and unimpaired by food position. Keep
door seals clean.
▶Defreeze frozen food in a fridge.
▶
▶Clean the rear of the appliance regularly. Dust increases energy consumption.
The most energy-saving configuration requires drawer, food box and shelves to be
positioned in the appliance on factory-fresh condition, and food to be placed without
blocking the air outlet of the duct.
