Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consumption.
For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the appli-
ance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner.
Energy Saving Tips• Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources
of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent
operation of the compressor.
• Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base
and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.
• Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to
cool first.
• Only leave door open as long as necessary.
• Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
• Always keep the heat emitting condenser, the metal grille on the rear
wall of your appliance clean.
