Tips for energy saving
• Do not place the appliance near cookers, radiators or other heat sources. If the
ambient temperature is high, the compressor will run more frequently and for
longer, resulting in increased energy consumption.
• Ensure that there is sufcient ventilation at the base of the appliance, on the sides
of the appliance and at the back of the appliance. Never cover ventilation openings.
• Please also observe the spacing dimensions in the chapter “Installation”.
• The arrangement of drawers, shelves and racks as shown in the illustration offers the
most efcient use of energy and should therefore be retained as far as possible. All
drawers and shelves should remain in the appliance to keep the temperature stable
and save energy.
• To obtain a larger storage space (e.g. for large refrigerated/frozen goods), the
middle drawers can be removed. The top and bottom drawers and shelves should
be removed last if necessary.
• An evenly lled refrigerator/freezer compartment contributes to optimal energy
use. Therefore, avoid empty or half-empty compartments.
• Allow warm food to cool before placing it in the refrigerator/freezer. Food that has
already cooled down increases energy efciency.
• Allow frozen food to defrost in the refrigerator. The coldness of the frozen food
reduces the energy consumption in the refrigerator compartment and thus increases
the energy efciency.
• Open the door only as briey as necessary to minimise cold loss. Opening the door
briey and closing it properly reduces energy consumption.
• The door seals of your appliance must be perfectly intact so that the doors close
properly and energy consumption is not increased unnecessarily.
