you switch it off yourself (to clean or defrost your

Remember to cool hot food before storing otherwise the
temperature inside the appliance will increase, causing the
compressor to work harder and use more energy.
Do not store liquids in unsealed containers since this
will increase the humidity and lead to the formation
of frost in the refrigerator.
WARNING: to avoid blocking the air circulation inside
the refrigerator, it is advisable not to obstruct the
ventilation holes with food or containers.
