PROBLEMS WITH YOUR FREEZER

 You can solve many common freezer 
problems easily, saving you the cost of a 
possible service call. Try the suggestions 
below to see if you can solve the problem 
before calling the servicer .

 For household refrigerating appliances, in 
normal temperature conditions, please 
arrange the thermostat at the middle setting.
 
 Before loading the appliance with packages 
of fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to 
ambient temperature.

 Ice and frost layer increase energy 
consumption, so do 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.

 Always consider instructions stated in 
sections Positioning and Energy Saving Tips, 
otherwise the energy consumption is 
substantially higher.

Moving Your Freezer

 Remove all the food.
 Securely tape down all loose items inside 
your freezer.
 Remove the rollers to prevent damage.
 Tape the doors shut.
 Be sure the freezer stays in the upright 
position during transportation.

Energy Saving Tips

 The freezer 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 freezer.  Overloading 
the freezer 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 
freezer.  This cuts down on frost build-up 
inside the freezer.

 Freezer storage bin should not be lined with 
aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.  
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, 
making the freezer 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.

 Try not to open the door too often, especially 
when the weather is wet and hot. Once you 
open the door, mind to close it as soon as 
possible. 
 Every now and then check if the appliance is 
sufficiently ventilated (adequate air 
circulation behind the appliance).
