Saving energy
•
Do not install the appliance near stoves, radiators or other heat sources. At higher
ambient temperatures, the compressor runs longer and more frequently and
results in a higher energy consumption.
•
Ensure adequate ventilation space at the base, on the sides and back of the
appliance. Never cover ventilation openings. Observe the specified clearances (see
chapter Setting up the appliance).
The arrangement of the drawers, shelves and compartments as shown in the
figure "Getting to know your appliance" offers the most efficient use of energy and
should therefore be maintained where possible.
•
For more storage space (e.g. for large refrigerated goods) remove the middle
shelves. Remove the top and bottom shelves last, and only if necessary.
•
A uniformly filled refrigerating compartment contributes to an optimum use of
energy. Avoid empty or half-empty compartments.
•
Do not place hot food in the refrigerator. Let food cool down first.
•
Allow frozen food to thaw in the refrigerator. The cold from the frozen food lowers
the energy consumption of the refrigerating compartment and thus increases the
energy efficiency.
•
Do not set the temperature lower than necessary. This also contributes to an
optimum energy utilisation.
•
The door seals must be absolutely intact so that the doors close correctly and the
energy consumption is not unnecessarily increased.
•
Open the appliance only when necessary, and then for as short a time as possible.
Energy consumption and the temperature inside the appliance can increase if the
appliance door is opened frequently or for a long time, or if it is not closed
properly.
Service and maintenance
12
For hygiene reasons, regularly clean the appliance inside and out, including the door seal
and interior fittings.
Before carrying out any maintenance and servicing work, ensure that the appliance is
disconnected from the mains power supply (see safety chapter Electric Shock).
CAUTION
RISK OF INJURY!
•
Do not use electric heaters, naked flames, knives, etc. for defrosting.
•
Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Moisture could get into electrical
components.
ATTENTION
APPLIANCE DAMAGE!
•
Do not use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents.
•
Do not use abrasive sponges.
•
Essential oils and organic solvents, e.g. the juice of lemon or orange peel, butyric
acid or cleaning agents containing acetic acid can attack plastic parts. Do not allow
such substances to come into contact with parts of the appliance.
