Putting into operation
3.3
Saving energy
Do not install the appliance near stoves, radiators or other heat sources. At higher
•
ambient temperatures, the compressor runs longer and more frequently and
results in a higher energy consumption.
•
Ensure adequate ventilation space at the base, on the sides and back of the
appliance. Never cover ventilation openings. Observe the specified clearances (see
chapter "Setting up the appliance").
The arrangement of the drawers, shelves and compartments as shown in the
•
figure "Getting to know your appliance" offers the most efficient use of energy and
should therefore be maintained where possible.
For more storage shelves (e.g. for large refrigerated/frozen goods) remove the
•
middle shelf. Remove the top and bottom shelves/drawers last if necessary.
A uniformly filled refrigerator compartment contributes to an optimum use of
•
energy. Avoid empty or half-empty compartments.
Do not place hot food in the refrigerator. Let food cool down first.
•
•
Allow frozen food to thaw in the refrigerator. The cold from the frozen food lowers
the energy consumption of the refrigerator compartment and thus increases the
energy efficiency.
Do not set the temperature lower than necessary. This also contributes to an
•
optimum energy utilisation.
The door seals must be absolutely intact so that the doors close correctly, and the
•
energy consumption is not unnecessarily increased.
Open the appliance only when necessary, and then for as short a time as possible.
•
Energy consumption and the temperature inside the appliance can increase if the
appliance door is opened frequently or for a long time, or if it is not closed
properly.
