Energy-saving tips
n Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room,
but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat
source (radiator, stove, etc.). Use an insulating
plate, if required.
n Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing in the appliance.
n When thawing frozen food, place it in the
refrigerator compartment. The low temperature of
the frozen products cools the food in the
refrigerator.
n Open and close the appliance doors as quickly as
possible.
