Additional tips for proper usage
NOTE
• In the event of a power failure, call the local ofce of your Electricity
Company and ask how long it is going to last.
- Most power failures that are corrected in 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 and discard all
frozen food.
• If a key is provided with refrigerator, the keys should be kept out of the
reach of children and not be kept in the vicinity of the appliance.
• The appliance might not operate consistently (frozen contents can thaw
or temperatures can become too warm in the frozen food compartment)
when sited for an extended period of time in a location where ambient
air temperatures are constantly below the temperatures for which the
appliance is designed.
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as
bananas and melons.
• Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need to manually
defrost your appliance. This will be carried out automatically.
• Temperature rise during defrosting complies with ISO requirements.
But If you want to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of frozen
food while the appliance defrosts, wrap the frozen food in several layers
of newspaper.
• Any increase in the temperature of frozen food during defrosting can
shorten its storage life.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed completely.
