DEFROSTING
YOUR REFRIGERATOR WILL NOT REQUIRE DEFROSTING AS DEFROSTING
OCCURS AUTOMAIALLY.
HOWEVER, YOU WILL HAVE TO DEFROST THE ICE BOX (FREEZER
COMPARTMENT) WHEN THE FROST IS 3-5 MM THICK OTHERWISE YOUR
APPLIANCE WILL NOT WORK EFFICIENTLY.
TO DEFROST YOUR ICE BOX, REMOVE ALL THE FOOD FROM WITHIN AND WRAP
IN NEWSPAPER, BEARING IN MIND THAT THE INEVITABLE RISE IN
TEMPERATURE WILL MEAN THAT THEY WILL HAVE TO BE EATEN SHORTLY
THEREAFTER.
CAUTION!
•
DO NOT USE METAL UTENSILS OR KNIFES TO BREAK ICE OFF FROM THE
INSIDE OF THE ICE BOX.
•
DO NOT USE DEFROTSING SPRAYS – THEY MAY BE TOXIC.
TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVINGS
9
Try not to open the door too often, especially when
the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the
door, be sure to close it as soon as possible.
9
Use higher thermostat settings only if essential
and not for constant, long-term use.
9
Before loading the appliance with packages of
fresh foods, ensure they are cooled to an ambient
temperature (except in the case of soup).
9
If the door seal (gasket) is damaged, the energy
consumption will be much higher. To keep the
sealing in good condition, be sure not to spill oils
or fats on it. A damaged seal will need to be
replaced.
9
The condenser at the bottom of the appliance must
always be clean and free of dust.
