Tips for Energy Savings
Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot.
Once you open the door, mind to close it as soon as possible.
Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air
circulation around the appliance).
Set thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as possible (depends on
how loaded the appliance is ambient temperature etc).
Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, make sure they are
cooled to ambient temperature.
Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so defrost the appliance as
soon as the layer is 1/8” thick.
Important
DANGER: Risk of child entrapment. Before you throw away your old fridge:
Take off the doors.
Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.
The appliance must be correctly connected to the power supply. (See: “HOW TO
INSTALL”).
Do not use an extension cord.
Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the appliance operates, especially not with wet
hands, because the skin may stick to the cold surfaces.
Do not freeze bottles containing liquid, especially soft drinks, such as mineral water,
sparkling wine, beer, cola etc., because liquid expands during freezing and the glass
bottle is very likely to blow up.
Do not eat frozen food (bread, fruit, vegetables), because you can get frostbites.
If the food has strange smell or color, throw it away, because it is very likely that it is
spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat.
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply before repairing it (only a qualified
technician should repair it), before cleaning.
Do not defrost the appliance with other electric devices (hair dryer etc.) and never
scrape the ice or frost layer with sharp tools.
The rating plate is inside the appliance or outside on the rear wall.
