Saving energy

If you follow the instructions below, your appliance will use less power.

Note: The arrangement of the fittings does not affect the energy consumption of the appliance.

--------

Installing the appliance

ambient temperatures and therefore consumes less

power.

Install the appliance as far away as possible from heat-

ing elements, cooker and other heat sources:

At least 1¼” (3 cm) from electric or gas cookers.

At least 11¾" (30 cm) from oil or solid-fuel cookers.

Note:

If this is not possible, attach an insulating plate be-

tween the appliance and heat source.

Select an installation location at a room temperature of

approx. 68 °F (20 °C).

Do not cover or block the ventilation openings. The appliance needs to cool less frequently if the warm

air can escape and therefore consumes less power.

Ventilate the room daily.

utilize the low temperature of the frozen food.

Always leave a space between the food and the back

panel.

The air can circulate and the humidity will remain con-

stant.The appliance needs to cool less frequently and

therefore consumes less power.

Pack food airtight.
