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.
If the power failure lasts more than 24 hours, remove all frozen food.
• 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.
• Refrigeration can have an adverse effect on certain foods (bananas, for example) and cause them to deteriorate. Do
not refrigerate these foods.
• 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 the frozen food while the appliance defrosts, wrap the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
• Do not re-freeze frozen foods that have thawed completely.

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 (a radiator, for example).
- For the highest energy efficiency, do not block any internal or external grills or vents.
- 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 the
time the door is open, the less ice will form in the freezer.
- To reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills low, we recommend that you install the refrigerator with at
least 2 inches of clearance on the back and sides.
