Saving energy
Your appliance will use less electricity if you follow the guidance notes below.
Note: The arrangement of the fittings has no effect on
the energy consumption of the appliance.
--------
Installing the appliance
Protect the appliance from direct sunlight. In lower ambient temperatures, the refrigeration system has to cut in less
often and so uses less electricity.
Position the appliance with as much clearance as possible from radiators,
cookers and other sources of heat:
At least 3 cm from electric or gas cookers
At least 30 cm from oil or solid-fuel stoves
Note: . If that is not possible, fit an insulation board between the appliance
and the heat source.
Select an installation site with a room temperature of approx. 20 °C.
Caution!
Risk of skin burns.
Some parts of the appliance become hot when in operation. Touching
those parts can cause skin burns.
The air at the back of the appliance does not heat up as much. The
appliance uses less power if the warm air can dissipate.
Never cover over or block the air vents.
Ventilate the room every day.
Using the appliance
Only keep the appliance door open for a short time. The air inside the appliance does not heat up as much. The refrigeration
system has to cut in less often and so uses less electricity.
Carry food that you buy in a coolbag and put it in the appliance as soon as
possible.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool before placing them in the appliance.
Place frozen food in the fridge compartment to defrost and so utilise the
low temperature of the frozen food.
Always leave some space between the food and the rear panel of the
appliance.
The air can then circulate and the air humidity remains constant. The
refrigeration system has to cut in less often and so uses less electricity.
Pack food in air-tight containers.
Vacuum-clean the back of the appliance once a year. The air at the back of the appliance does not heat up as much. The
appliance uses less power if the warm air can dissipate.
Never cover over or block the air vents.
