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 be
kept out of the reach of children
and not be in the vicinity of the
appliance.

• The appliance might not
operate consistently (possibility
of defrosting of 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.

defrosting can comply with ISO
requirements.
But if you want to prevent an
undue rise in the temperature of
the frozen food while defrosting

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
(radiator, for example).

- Never block any vents or grilles
on the appliance.

- 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
appliance open for too long
when putting food in or taking
food out. The shorter time for
which the door is open, the less
ice will form in the freezer.

- Allow clearance to the right, left,
back and top when installing.
This will help reduce power
consumption and keep your
energy bills lower.

- For the most efficient use of
energy, please keep the all
inner fittings such as baskets,
drawers, shelves on the position
supplied by manufacturer.

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.

When moving your refrigerator

To prevent floor damage be sure the front leveling
legs are in the up position(above the floor).

Refer to “HOW TO LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR”
in the manual (at page 17).

FLOORING

For proper installation, this refrigerator must be
placed on a level surface of hard material that is
the same height as the rest of the flooring.
This surface should be strong enough to support a
fully loaded refrigerator.
To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a large
section of the cardboard carton and place under
the refrigerator where you are working.
When moving, be sure to pull the unit straight out
and push back in straight.
