close it as soon as possible. This is especially important if
you have an upright model.
x Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently
ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).
x Set thermostat to lower settings as soon as possible
(depends on the amount of food loaded, ambient
temperature etc).
x Never use continuous operation unless unnecessarily
required; switch the operation mode selection switch to the
setting for automatic operation as soon as possible.
x Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh foods,
make sure they are cooled to ambient temperature.
x Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so do
clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.
x If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is
poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher. To
restore efficiency, replace the gasket.
x The condenser on the rear wall should be always clean, free
of dust or any impurities.
x Always consider instructions stated in sections Positioning
and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the energy consumption
is substantially higher.

Instructions for Use
Important
x If you have bought this appliance to replace an old one
equipped with a lock that cannot be opened from inside
(lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is broken. This will make
it impossible for children to lock themselves inside the
appliance and suffocate.
x The appliance must be correctly connected to the mains
supply. (see: Connecting to the Mains Supply).
x If the food has strange smell or color, throw it away, because
it is very likely that it is spoiled and therefore dangerous to
eat.
