Ecological hints To save energy and help protect the environment, we recommend that you follow these hints. Do not install the appliance close to sources of heat such as a boiler or radiator. Locate the appliance in a well-ventilated room and make sure that any air openings of the appliance are not obstructed. Pack all foods into airtight packages before placing them into the freezer compartment. Food, which is to be frozen (when cool), should be placed in the fridge compartment before being transferred to the freezer. Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.
