ENERGY SAVING
To reduce the power consumption of
your appliance:
• Install it in a suitable location (see
"Installing your appliance").
• Keep doors open for as short time as
possible.
• Do not put hot food in your
refrigerator or freezer, particularly if
they are soups or preparations which
emit a large amount of steam.
• Ensure the optimal functioning of
your device by not letting accumulate
too much frost in the freezer (defrost it
when the ice thickness exceeds 5-6
mm) and periodically cleaning the
condenser (see "Maintenance your
device ").
• Regularly check the door seals and
make sure that they always close
effectively. If this is not the case,
please contact service after sales
service.
• Do not let it set at too low a
temperature.
• Not fulfilling with drawers, bins and
shelves arrangement could lead to
increased energy consumption.
WARNING:
If the unit was shipped to home in a
horizontal position, place it vertically
and wait two hours before plugging it
in. A small amount of oil may have
flowed into the refrigeration circuit,
you need to give it time to flow back
towards the motor before connecting
the appliance, otherwise you may
damage it.
Before any maintenance, disconnect
the power plug. Do not pull the power
cable but directly enter the profile.
