Ventilation
The air on the rear panel and on the side panels of
the appliance heats up. Conduction of the heated air
must not be obstructed. Otherwise the refrigeration unit
must work harder. This increases power consumption.
Therefore: Never cover or block ventilation openings!
Place the enclosed spacers in the designated holders on
the back of the appliance. This ensures that there is
a minimum distance between the appliance and the wall.
