ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR
PROPER USAGE
• In the event of a power failure, call the local
offi ce of your electric company and ask how
long the failure is going to last.
- Most power failures that are corrected in an
hour or two will not affect your refrigerator
temperatures. However, you should minimize
the number of door openings while the power is
off.
- Should the power failure last more than
24hours, remove and discard all frozen food.
• The refrigerator might not operate consistently
(frozen contents can thaw or temperatures
can become too warm in the frozen food
compartment) if sited for an extended
period of time in a location where ambient
air temperatures are constantly below the
temperatures for which the appliance is
designed.
• In case of particular foods, keeping it under
refrigeration can have a bad effect on
preservation due to its properties.
• Your appliance is frost free, which means there
is no need to manually defrost your appliance.
This will be carried out automatically.
• Temperature rise during defrosting complies
with ISO requirements.
If you want to prevent an undue rise in the
temperature of frozen food while the appliance
defrosts, wrap the frozen food in several layers
of newspaper.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed
completely.
Saving Energy Tips
- Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with
adequate ventilation.
Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight
and never put it near a direct source of heat (a
radiator, for example).
- For the highest energy effi ciency, do not block
any internal or external grills or vents.
- Allow warm food to cool down before placing it
in the appliance.
- Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw.
You can then use the low temperatures of the
frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.
- Do not keep the door of the refrigerator open
for too long when putting food in or taking food
out.
The shorter the time the door is open, the less
frost build-up you’ll have in the freezer.
- To reduce power consumption and keep your
energy bills low, we recommend that you
install the refrigerator with at least 2 inches of
clearance on the back and sides.
