Tips for saving energy
Install the appliance in a dry, well
■
ventilated room! The appliance should
not be installed in direct sunlight
or near a heat source (e.g. radiator,
cooker).
If required, use an insulating plate.
Select 560 mm cavity depth.
■
A smaller cavity depth will result in
a higher energy consumption.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool
■
down before placing in the appliance.
Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator
■
compartment and use the low
temperature of the frozen food to cool
refrigerated food.
Open the appliance as briefly as
■
possible.
Regularly defrost the freezer
■
compartment to remove the layer of
frost!
A layer of hoarfrost will impair
refrigeration of the frozen food
and increase power consumption.
Ensure that the freezer compartment
■
door has been closed properly.
To avoid increased power
■
consumption, occasionally clean the
back of the appliance.
The arrangement of the fittings does
■
not affect the energy rating of the
appliance.
