quently and longer.
Ensure enough ventilation at the bottom and rear
side. Never block ventilation openings.
Place all shelves, racks or drawers (depending on
the model) in their original position.
Adjust the temperature not colder than necessary.
Open the unit door only as necessary.
Defrost the unit regularly (model dependent).
Switch on the lighting only if necessary.
The seal of the appliance door must be complete-
ly intact, so that the door closes properly.
