ADDITIONAL TIPS
FOR PROPER USAGE
• In the event of a power
failure, call the local office of
your Electricity Company and
ask how long it is going to
last.
- Most power failures that are
corrected within an hour
or two will not affect your
refrigerator temperatures.
However, you should
minimize the number of door
openings while the power is
off.
- But should the power failure
last more than 24 hours,
remove all frozen food.
• If keys are provided with the
refrigerator, the keys should
14_ safety information
be kept out of the reach of
children and not be in the
vicinity of the appliance.
• The appliance might
not operate consistently

contents or temperature
becoming too warm in the
frozen food compartment)
when sited for an extended
period of time below the
cold end of the range of
temperature for which the
refrigerating appliance is
designed.
• Do not store food which goes
bad easily at low temperature,
such as bananas, melons.
• Your appliance is frost free,
which means there is no
need to manually defrost
your appliance, as this will be
carried out automatically.
• Temperature rise during
defrosting can comply with
ISO requirements.
But if you want to prevent an
undue rise in the temperature
of the frozen food while
defrosting 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 appliance open for too
long when putting food in or
