Installation site
In a ventilated room. In an enclosed, unventilated room.
Protected from direct sunlight. In direct sunlight.
Not situated near to a heat source 
(radiator, oven).
Situated near to a heat source 
(radiator, oven).
Where the ideal ambient room 
temperature is approx 20°C.
Where there is a high ambient room 
temperature.
Use
Only open the doors when necessary 
and for as short a time as possible.
Frequent opening of the doors for 
long periods will cause a loss of 
coldness.
Store food in an organised way. If food is not stored in an organised 
way, searching for an item will mean 
the door is open for longer.
Allow hot food and drinks to cool 
down before placing them in the 
unit.
Placing hot food in the unit will cause 
the compressor to run for a long 
time, as the unit will have to work 
harder to lower the temperature.
Store food covered or packaged. The evaporation or condensation of 
liquids will cause a loss of coldness in 
the unit.
Do not over-fill the unit to allow air 
to circulate.
Defrosting
Defrost the freezer compartment 
when a layer of ice 3 cm thick has 
built up.
A layer of ice hinders the cold from 
reaching the frozen food, and causes 
an increase in energy consumption.
