Electrical connection
Caution!
Do not connect the appliance to electronic energy saver
plugs.
Note: You can connect the appliance to mains-
controlled and sine-controlled inverters.
Mains-controlled inverters are used for photovoltaic
systems which are connected directly to the national
grid. Sine-controlled inverters must be used for isolated
applications. Isolated applications, e.g. on ships or in
mountain lodges, which are not connected directly to
the national grid.
The air in the appliance does not warm up so intensely. The
appliance must cool less frequently and therefore consumes
less power.
The air can circulate and the humidity will remain constant.
The appliance must cool less frequently and therefore con-
sumes less power.
The air on the back wall of the appliance does not warm up so
intensely. The appliance consumes less power if the warm air
can escape.
A layer of hoarfrost or ice in the freezer compartment impairs
refrigeration of the frozen food and increases power con-
sumption.
The freezer compartment will become covered in thick ice. If
greater demands are made of the appliance, the power con-
sumption will increase.
