This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as
●
- staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
- farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments;
- bed and breakfast type environments;
- catering and similar non-retail applications.
■
For saving energy
• Do not stuff food into the compartments.
That may interfere with the cold air flow. Provide sufficient space between
foods.
• Open the door only when necessary.
Minimizing the number of times the door is opened/closed prevents cold air
from escaping and reduces the amount of wasted electricity.
• Do not block the cold air outlet with food items.
If cold air does not spread into every corner of compartments, then the interior
will not be sufficiently cooled and more electricity will be consumed.
• The cold air discharges from the outlet of the duct at the back.
• Store warm food and drinks after they are cooled.
Otherwise, they will not only raise the interior temperature, but also affect the
freshness of other foods.
