Tips for saving energy
If you follow the instructions below, your appliance will use less power.
Note: The arrangement of the features does not affect the energy consumption of the appliance.
--------
Installing the appliance
Keep the appliance out of direct sunlight. The appliance needs to cool less frequently at low ambient
temperatures and therefore consumes less power.
Install the appliance as far away as possible from heating ele-
ments, cooker and other heat sources:
At least 1¼" (3 cm) from electric or gas cookers.
At least 11¾" (30 cm) from oil or solid-fuel cookers.
Note:
If this is not possible, attach an insulating plate between the
appliance and heat source.
Select an installation location with a room temperature of
approx. 20 °C.
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings. If the warm air can escape, the appliance needs to cool less
frequently and therefore consumes less power.
Ventilate the room daily.
Using the appliance
Open the appliance door only briefly. The air in the appliance does not warm up so intensely. The
appliance needs to cool less frequently and therefore con-
sumes less power.
Transport purchased food in a cool bag and place in the
appliance quickly.
Allow warm food and drink to cool down before placing in the
appliance.
Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment to utilise
the low temperature of the frozen food.
Always leave a space between the food and the back wall. The air can circulate and the humidity will remain con-
stant.The appliance needs to cool less frequently and there-
fore consumes less power.
Pack food airtight.
Do not cover or block the ventilation openings. The appliance consumes less power if warm air can escape.
Vacuum the ventilation openings once a year.
