Saving energy How to save energy: Installation The refrigeration appliance has to cool more often at higher am- site bient temperatures and consumes more energy in the process. Therefore, you should: - Install the refrigeration appliance in a well-ventilated room. - Do not install the refrigeration appliance near to a heat source (heater element, cooker).
Page 39
Saving energy - Use the wall spacers. The wall spacers on the back of your re- frigeration appliance are designed to ensure that the declared energy consumption is achieved.
