4.3 SAVING ENERGY
• The most ef cient use of energy is ensured in the con guration with
the drawers in the lower part of the appliance and with the shelves
evenly distributed. The position of the door trays does not affect energy
consumption.
• Do not open the door or leave it open more often than necessary.
• Do not set the temperature too high to save energy unless the
characteristics of the food require it.
• If the ambient temperature is high, the temperature control is set to
a low temperature and the appliance is fully lled, the compressor
can be on continuously, causing ice to form on the evaporator. In this
case, set the temperature control to a higher temperature to defrost the
evaporator and thus save energy.
• Ensure proper ventilation. Do not cover the vents or holes.
• Place frozen food in the fresh food compartment to defrost: the low
temperature of the frozen food helps to cool the fresh food and thus
saves energy.
• Replace the door gasket in good time to prevent poor door closing.
