ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
The appliance is energy-efficient. Save even more energy when using the appliance with the following tips, and how to
dispose of your appliance in an environmentally-friendly way.
Saving energy
• A high ambient temperature will have a negative effect on the energy consumption. Direct sunlight and other heat
sources near the appliance also have a negative effect.
• Keep ventilation holes free. Covered and dirty holes cause a high energy consumption. Ensure sufficient space around
the refrigerator, so that a proper ventilation and air flow around the appliance is possible.
• Do not open the doors of the appliance more often than necessary and leave the doors open as briefly as possible.
• The distance between the shelves and the rear wall ensurs a free air circulation. Do not place food against the rear wall.
• Set the thermostat to a lower setting if circumstances allow.
• Allow cooked food that you want to store in the appliance to cool down to room temperature before placing it in the
appliance.
• A door rubber that does not close properly could increase the energy consumption. Therefore, have it replaced by a
qualified person in time.
• If the instructions are not observed, this could lead to a higher energy consumption.
