The appliance must be installed out of direct sunlight
and away from heat sources (e.g. heating elements,
cooker).
Use an insulating plate if necessary.
■
Allow hot food and drinks to cool before placing
them in the appliance.
■
Place frozen food in the fridge compartment to
defrost and utilise the low temperature of the frozen
food to cool other food.
■
Only open the appliance door for as short a time as
possible.
■
To prevent the food warming up quickly in the event
of a power cut or a fault, place blocks of ice in the
top compartment directly on top of the food.

Make sure that the appliance door is always closed.
■
The arrangement of the equipment parts shown in
the section Getting to know the appliance requires
