Tips For Energy Saving - Klarstein 1003013 serie Bedienungsanleitung

Transport: Hold the unit around its sides or base when moving it. Under no circumstances should it be lifted
by holding the edges of the top surface.
Servicing: The unit should be serviced by an authorized engineer and only genuine spare parts should be
used. Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair the unit yourself. Repairs carried out by inexperi-
enced persons may cause injury or serious malfunction. Contact a qualitatively technician.
Put out of operation: When the unit is not in use for a long period of time, disconnect it from the mains sup-
ply, empty all food and clean the appliance, leaving the door ajar to prevent unpleasant smells.
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door,
close it as soon as possible.
• Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the
appliance).
• In normal temperature conditions, please arrange the thermostat at the middle setting.
• Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh food, make sure they are cooled to ambient tempera-
ture.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm
thick.
• If it is the outer condenser, the rear wall should be always clean free of dust or any impurities.
• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or
heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces
the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts
down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminium foil, wax paper, or paper towelling. Liners inter-
fere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as
needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
