Energy Saving Tips

• Ensure the door is always closed properly.
• Position the appliance away from heat sources (ovens, radiators, direct sunlight).
• Allow hot food to cool to room temperature before freezing.
• Keep the condenser coil at the rear free of dust.
• Check door seals periodically for tightness.
• Maintain an internal temperature of -18°C; colder settings increase energy use.
