Tips for Energy Savings

• Try not to open the door too often, especially

when the weather is wet and hot. Once you

open the door, mind to close it as soon as

possible. This is especially important if you

have an upright model.

• Every now and then check if the appliance is

sufficiently ventilated (adequate air

circulation behind the appliance).

• Use higher thermostat settings only when

required or recommended.

• Before loading the appliance with packages

of fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to

ambient temperature.

• Ice and frost layer increase energy

consumption, so do clean the appliance as

soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.

• 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.

• The condenser on the rear wall should be

always clean, free of dust or any impurities.

• Always consider instructions stated in

sections Positioning and Energy Saving

Tips, otherwise the energy consumption is

substantially higher.

Important

• This appliance can be used by children aged from

8 years and above and persons with reduced

physical, sensory or metal capabilities or lack of

experience and knowledge if they have been

given supervision or instruction concerning use of

the appliance in a safe way and understand the

hazards involved. Children shall not play with the

appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall

not be made by children without supervision.

• 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.

• The appliance must be correctly connected to the

mains supply. (see: Connecting to the Mains

Supply).

• Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the

appliance operates, especially not with wet hands,

because the skin may stick to the cold surfaces.

• Do not freeze bottles containing liquid, especially

not soft drinks, such as mineral water, sparkling

wine, beer, cola etc., because liquid expands

during freezing and the glass bottle is very likely to

blow up.

• Do not eat frozen food (bread, fruit, vegetables),

because you can get frostbites.

• 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.

• Disconnect the appliance from the power supply

before repairing it (only a qualified technician

should repair it), before cleaning and before

replacing the light bulb.

• Do not defrost the appliance with other electric

appliances (as for example with hair dryer) and

never scrape the frost layer with sharp objects.

Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended by

the manufacturer.

• For the sake of environment protection - be

careful not to damage the rear wall of the

appliance (the condenser unit or the tubes - for

example when moving the appliance) or any part

of the refrigerating system inside the appliance.

Do not use sharp object for defrosting the

appliance.

• The refrigerating system of the appliance is filled

with refrigerant and oil, so when the appliance is

damaged, handle it with care and dispose it of in

compliance with environmental protecting

precautions. (See We Care for the Environment).

• Heating element incorporated in the appliance, all

around the rim, is controlled by the operation of

the compressor and it prevents the door gasket to

freeze on to the freezer housing.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced

by the manufacturer or his service agent or a

qualified person in order to avoid hazard.

• The rating plate is inside the appliance or outside

on the rear wall.

• Warning! Ventilation

slots on the appliance

or a built-in element

must always be clean

and unobstructed.

How often should I defrost my freezer? Verified

For optimal use of the freezer it is best to defrost it once every 3-6 months. Ice on the inside of the freezer reduces the available space and increases the use of energy. The thawing process can be accelerated by placing hot water in the drawer or placing bowls of hot water in the freezer.

I bought a new fridge-freezer, can I turn it on immediately? Verified

No, the fridge-freezer needs to stand in an upright position for at least 4 hours before it can be turned on. This is because the coolant liquid needs to settle.

Is it normal that water or ice drops are forming on the back wall of my fridge-freezer? Verified

Yes, this a completely normal phenomenom. The moisture that enters the fridge-freezer with warm air or products will settle on the coldest part, being the back wall. Because the back wall can reach temperatures below freezing, the drops will freeze from time to time. When the fridge-freezer is idle the drops will thaw and flow to the drain of the fridge-freezer.

How long does it take for my refrigerator to reach the set temperature after I turn it on? Verified

This depends on the size, age and model of the refrigerator. It may take several hours to 24 hours for the refrigerator to reach the set temperature. The process can be accelerated by placing non-perishable goods in the refrigerator. The temperature in the refrigerator cannot be measured properly by feeling the air inside. The best way to tell if the refrigerator has reached the set temperature is to place a glass of water in the refrigerator with a thermometer in it.

There is condensation in my refrigerator, why is that? Verified

There can be several causes. The door gasket can be defective, allowing outside air into the refrigerator. It's also possible that the refrigerator is not level, preventing the door from closing correctly. Another cause is a large difference between the temperature inside the refrigerator and outside while the door is being opened frequently.

There is mold on the rubber seals of my fridge-freezer, what should I do? Verified

The rubber seals are not actually inside the fridge-freezer and are therefore warmer. This allows bacteria to grow and mold to form. Clean the rubbers regularly to prevent this.
