5. HINTS AND TIPS
5.1 Hints for energy saving
• The original configuration ensures the
most efficient use of energy.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than necessary.
• The colder the temperature setting, the
higher the energy consumption.
• Do not cover the ventilation grilles or
holes.
