Try not to open the door too often,
especially when the weather is hot and
humid. Once you open the door, ctose it
as soon as possible. This is especially
important if you have an upright model.
Make certain the appliance is sufficiently
ventilated (adequate air circulation
behind the appliance).
,, Set the thermostat from higher to lower settings as soon as
possible (depends on how loaded the appliance is, ambient
temperatures etc.).
,, If the gasket is damaged or the door seal is poor, energy
consumption is substantially higher. To restore efficiency,
replace the gasket.
AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING OF THE APPLIANCE
There is no need to defrost the appliance, because ice
depositing on the inner back wail is defrosted automatically.
Ice build-up on the inner back wall during compressor
operation will defrost automatically (when the compressor has

outlet in the inner back wail into a drain pan situated above the
compressor, from where it evaporates.

Bon-Ami ®, Barkeepers Friend®, or a similar cleanser
specifically intended for stainless steel, and a non-abrasive
cloth. Always cIean in the direction of the grain. Always finish
this process with a high quality stainless steei cleaner/polish to
prevent further problems. Rust that is allowed to penetrate the
surface of stainless steel can become impossible to remove.
