1.5 Saving energy
-Always ensure good ventilation. Do not cover ventilation
openings or grille.
-Do not place appliance in areas of direct sunlight or next to a
heater or similar object.
-The energy consumption depends on the installation condi-
tions, e.g. the ambient temperature (see 1.2) .
-Keep the time the appliance is open to a minimum.
-The lower the temperature setting, the higher the power
consumption.
-Ensure that all products are well packed for storage.
This will prevent frost from forming.
-If there is a thick layer of frost in the appliance: defrost the
appliance.
Accumulated dust increases the energy
consumption:
-Once a year, dust the refrigerating unit
together with the metal grille of the heat
exchanger at the back of the appliance.
