ENERGY SAVING TIPS
To guarantee adequate ventilation follow installation instructions.
Insufficient ventilation at the back of the product increases energy
consumption and decreases cooling efficiency.
Frequent door opening might cause an increase in Energy Consumption. The
internal temperature of the appliance and the Energy Consumption may be
affected also by the ambient temperature, as well as location of the
appliance. Temperature setting should take into consideration these factors.
Reduce door opening to minimum.
When thawing frozen food, place it 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 shelf.
Do not worry about noises coming from the compressor which are normal
operation noises.
