Energy Saving Tips
• Do not install the appliance near cookers, radiators or other sources
of warmth. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent
operation of the compressor.
• Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base
and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent ope-
nings.
• Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to
cool first.
• Only leave door open as long as necessary.
• Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
• Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food
will then be used to cool the fridge.
Accumulation of dust at the condenser increases energy consump-
tion. For this reason carefully clean the condenser at the back of the
appliance once a year with a soft brush or a vacuum cleaner. Ensure
the appliance is switched off.
5. Check the water drain hole on
the rear wall of the fridge. Clear
a blocked drain hole with the
aid of the drain cleaning tool
included with the appliance.
6. When everything is dry place
appliance back into service.
