Declared energy consumption
value of the refrigerator was
determined with the freezer
compartment drawers
removed,except if available
bottom drawer and with
maximum amount of food
loaded.
• There is no risk in using a
shelf or drawer suitable for the
shapes and sizes of the foods to
be frozen.
• Thawing frozen food in fridge
compartment will both provide
energy saving and preserve the
food quality.
• The baskets/drawers that
are provided with the chill
compartment must always be in
use for low energy consumption
and for better storage
conditions.
• Food contact with the
temperature sensor in the
freezer compartment may
increase energy consumption of
the appliance. Thus any contact
with the sensor(s) must be
avoided.
CThe ambient temperature
of the room where you
install the refrigerator
should at least be
-5°C. Operating your
refrigerator under colder
