ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Install the appliance in a dry, well
ventilated room far away from any
heat source (eg. radiator, cooker, etc.)
and in place not exposed directly to
the sun. If required, use an insulating
plate.
To guarantee adequate ventilation
follow installation instructions.
Insufficient ventilation on back of the
product increases energy
consumption and decreases cooling
efficiency.
The internal temperatures of the
appliance may be affected by the
ambient temperature, frequency of
door opening, as well as location of
the appliance. Temperature setting
should take into consideration these
factors.
EN
Reduce to a minimum door opening.
When thawing frozen food, place
them in the refrigerator. The low
temperature of the frozen products
cools the food in the refrigerator.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool
down before placing in the appliance.
Positioning of the shelves in the
refrigerator has no impact on the
efficient usage of energy. Food should
be placed on the shelves in such way
to ensure proper air circulation (food
should not touch each other and
distance between food and rear wall
should be kept).
You can increase storage capacity of
frozen food by removing baskets and,
if present, Stop Frost shelve,
maintaining an equivalent energy
consumption.
High energy class products are fitted
with high efficiency motors that
remain operational for longer, but
have a low power consumption. Do
not worry if the engine continues to
run for longer periods.
