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.
- Should the power failure last more than 24
hours, remove all frozen foods.
• If keys are provided with the refrigerator, the
keys should be kept out of the reach of children
and not in vicinity of the appliance.
• The appliance might not operate consistently
(possibility of temperature becoming too warm
in refrigerator) 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 spoils 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 rising during the defrost can
comply with ISO requirement.
But if you want to prevent an undue rise in the
temperature of the frozen food while defrosting
the appliance, please wrap the frozen food in
several layers of newspaper.
• Any increase in temperature of frozen food
during defrosting can shorten its storage life.
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.
- Clean the rear of the refrigerator regularly.
Dust increases energy consumption.
- Do not set temperature colder than necessary.
- Ensure sufficient air exhaust at the refrigerator
base and at the back wall of the refrigerator.
Do not cover air vent openings.
- Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top
when installing.
This will help reduce power consumption and
keep your energy bills lower.
