Instructions for Use 59
Never use continuous operation unless unnecessarily required;
switch the operation mode selection switch to the setting for
automatic operation as soon as possible.
Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods, make
sure they are cooled to ambient temperature. (except for the soup)
Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do clean the
appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.
If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the
energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore efficiency,
replace the gasket.
The condenser on the rear wall should be always clean, free of dust
or any impurities.
Always consider instructions stated in sections Positioning and
Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption is
substantially higher.
Important
If you have bought this appliance to replace an old one equipped with
a lock that cannot be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that
the lock is broken. This will make it impossible for children to lock
themselves inside the appliance and suffocate.

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.

objects. Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended by the
manufacturer.
