Insufficient ventilation at the back of the product increases energy
consumption and decreases cooling efficiency.

Frequent door opening might cause an increase in Energy Consumption.
The internal temperature of the appliance and the Energy Consumption

may be affected also by the ambient temperature, as well as location of
the appliance. Temperature setting should take into consideration these
factors. Reduce door opening to minimum.

When thawing frozen food, place it in the refrigerator. The low
temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the refrigerator.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the
appliance.

Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the
efficient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in such
way to ensure proper air circulation (food should not touch each other
and distance between food and rear wall should be kept).

You can increase storage capacity of frozen food by removing baskets
and, if present, Stop Frost shelf.

Do not worry about noises coming from the compressor which are
normal operation noises.

The Gulf Conformity Marking on the product indicates the
