Saving Energy Tips
• Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation. Ensure that it is not
exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat (a radiator, for
example).
• Not to block any vents and grilles is recommended for energy efciency.
• Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance.
• Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw. You can then use the low temperatures of
the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator.
• Do not keep the door of the refrigerator open for too long when putting food in or
taking food out. The shorter the time the door is open, the less frost build-up you’ll
have in the freezer.
• It is recommended to install the refrigerator with clearance to the back and sides. This
will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.
• For the most efcient use of energy, please keep the all inner ttings such as baskets,
drawers, shelves on the position supplied by manufacturer.

STEP 3 Flooring
• The surface to install the refrigerator
must support a fully loaded refrigerator.
• To protect the oor, put a large piece
of cardboard on each leg of the
refrigerator.
• Once the refrigerator is in its nal
position, do not move it unless
necessary to protect the oor. If you
have to, use a thick paper or cloth such
as old carpets along the movement
path.
NOTE
If the refrigerator cannot pass through the entrance due to its size, see the Door removal
for entrance section in the Installation chapter.
STEP 4 Adjust the levelling feet
CAUTION
• The refrigerator must be levelled on a at, solid oor. Failing to do so can cause
damage to the refrigerator or physical injury.
• Levelling must be performed with an empty refrigerator. Make sure no food items
remain inside the refrigerator.
• For safety reasons, adjust the front side a little higher than the rear side.
The refrigerator can be levelled using the front legs that have a special screw (leveller) for
levelling purposes. Use a at-head screwdriver for levelling.
• To adjust the height of the left side:
Insert a at-head screwdriver into the
leveller of the left side front leg. Turn
the leveller clockwise to raise, or turn it
counter clockwise to lower.
• To adjust the height of the right side:
Insert a at-head screwdriver into the
leveller of the right side front leg. Turn
the leveller clockwise to raise, or turn it
counter clockwise to lower.
