ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room
far away from any heat source (eg. radiator,
cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed directly to
the sun. If required, use an insulating plate.
To guarantee adequate ventilation follow
installation instructions.
Insufcient ventilation at the back of the product
increases energy consumption and decreases
cooling efciency.
Frequent door opening might cause an increase
in Energy Consumption.
The internal temperature of the appliance and the
Energy Consumption may be affected also by the
ambient temperature, as well as location of the
appliance. Temperature setting should take into
consideration these factors. Reduce door opening
to minimum.
When thawing frozen food, place it in the
refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen
products cools the food in the refrigerator.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before
placing in the appliance.
Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has
no impact on the efcient usage of energy. Food
should be placed on the shelves in such way to
ensure proper air circulation (food should not
touch each other and distance between food and
rear wall should be kept).
You can increase storage capacity of frozen food
by removing baskets and, if present, Stop Frost
shelf.
Do not worry about noises coming from the
compressor which are normal operation noises.

• To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the
refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time,
your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool at room temperatu-
re and should be arranged to ensure adequate air circulation in the refrigerator compartment.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop and
packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean sh are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass shelf just
above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.
• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an uninterrupted
refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not store meat products with fruit and vegetables. Water leaking
from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package meat products
and clean any leakages on the shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air ow passage.
