Energy-saving advice
Follow the energy-saving guidelines below:
•
In order to conserve energy, try not to leave the door open for too long.
•
Make sure that the appliance is located away from any source of heat (direct sunlight,
electric heating, kitchen utensils, etc.)
•
Do not set the appliance to a colder temperature than necessary.
•
Do not store hot food or liquids that will evaporate in the appliance.
•
Place the appliance in a well-ventilated room free of moisture. Please refer to the
section on installing your appliance.
•
Follow the recommendations in the illustration for the position of shelves and
compartments in the appliance. These are the ideal positions to save energy.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
•
Do not place hot food directly in the refrigerator or freezer, as this would increase
the inside temperature, making the compressor work harder and therefore consume
more energy.
•
Cover or wrap food, especially if it has a strong flavour.
•
Position food in the refrigerator correctly so that air can circulate freely.
