Care & Maintenance

Energy saving tips

• Try not to open the door too often, espe-

cially when the weather is wet and hot.
Once you open the door, close it as soon
as possible.

• Every now and then check that the appli-

ance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate
air circulation behind the appliance).

• Under normal temperature conditions,

please place the thermostat at the
middle setting.

• Before loading the appliance with pack-

ages of fresh food, make sure they are
cooled down to ambient temperature.

• Ice and frost layer increase energy con-

sumption, so clean the appliance as soon
as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.

• If your model has an external condenser,

the rear wall should be always be kept
free of dust or impurities.

• The appliance should be located in the

coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances or heating ducts,
and out of reach of direct sunlight.

• 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
buildup inside the appliance.

• Appliance storage bins should not be

lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or
paper towels. Liners interfere with cold
air circulation, making the appliance less
efficient.

• Organize and label food to reduce door

openings and extended searches. Re-
move as many items as needed at one
time, and close the door as soon as pos-
sible.

Disposal

Old units still have some residual value. An
environmentally friendly method of dis-
posal will ensure that valuable raw materi-
als can be recovered and used again.
The refrigerant used in your unit and insu-
lation materials require special disposal
procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes
on the back of the unit are damaged prior
to disposal.
Up to date information concerning options
of disposing of your old unit and packag-
ing from the new one, can be obtained
from your local council office.
When disposing of an old unit, break old
locks or latches and remove the door as a
safeguard.
