ENERGY-SAVING TIPS
• Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated
room far away from any heat source (e.g.
radiator, cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed
directly to the sun. If required, use an insulating
plate.
• To guarantee adequate ventilation follow
installation instructions.
• Insufficient ventilation on back of the product
increases energy consumption and decreases
cooling efficiency.
• The internal temperatures of the appliance may
be affected by the ambient temperature,
frequency of door opening, as well as location of
the appliance. Temperature setting should take
into consideration these factors.
• Allow warm food and drinks to cool down
before placing in the appliance.
• Do not obstruct the fan (if available) with food
items.
• After placing the food check if the door of
compartments closes properly, especially the
freezer door.
• Reduce to a minimum door opening.
• When thawing frozen food, place them in the
refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen
products cools the food in the refrigerator.
• Appliances could have special compartments
(Fresh Food Compartment, Zero Degree
Box,...).
In case not differently specified in the specific
booklet of product, they can be removed,
maintaining equivalent performances.
• Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has
no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food
should be placed on the shelves in such way to
ensure proper air circulation (food should not
touch each other and distance between food
and rear wall should be kept).
• You can increase storage capacity of frozen food
by removing baskets and, if present, Stop Frost
shelve, maintaining an equivalent energy
consumption.
• Damaged gasket must be replaced as soon as
possible.
• High energy class products are fitted with
highefficiency motors that remain operational
for longer, but have a low power consumption.
Do not worry if the engine continues to run for
longer periods.
