Hints

Saving Energy
Pay careful attention to where the
cabinet is placed. See the section
Installation. When installed correctly
the cabinet will consume less energy.
Try to avoid keeping the doors open
for long periods or opening the doors
too frequently as warm air will enter the
cabinet and cause the compressor to
switch on unnecessarily often.
If the ambient temperature is high, the
thermostat knob is on the coldest
setting (higher numbers) and the
appliance is
compressor may run continuously,
causing frost or ice to form on the
evaporator. If this happens, turn the
knob to a warmer setting (lower
numbers) to allow automatic defrosting
and so a saving in electricity
consumption.
Do not place warm foods inside the
appliance. Allow warm foods to cool
first.
Keep the heat emitting condenser, the
metall grille on the rear wall of your
appliance, always clean.
Hints for refrigeration
Do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator and do cover
or wrap up the food, particularly if it
has a strong smell.

Warning
This appliance contains hydrocarbons in
its cooling unit maintenance and
recharging must therefore only be carried
out by authorised technicians.
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling
chamber in form of frost and ice goes
with the operation of the refrigerator.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating
effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as
the temperature increases and it needs
more energy.
At this type of appliance defrosting
cooling compartment is automatic
without any external intervention.
