TIPS
• High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on energy use. Keep the refrigerator in a position away from direct sunlight
or other sources of heat.
• Keep ventilation openings free. Clogged openings lead to higher use of energy.
• 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.
• The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment must be unobstructed to allow the cool air to
circulate. Therefore don't place any food items against the back.
• Turn the thermostat to a lower setting when the circumstances allow it.
• Before storing fresh cooked food, make sure the food has cooled at least to room temperature.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3 to 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.
• Keep the condensor on the rear wall always clean, free of dust or any impurities.
• Always consider the instructions, otherwise the energyconsumption is substantially higher.

Temperature inside the
refrigerator is too high or too low

incorrectly
Air circulation vents are blocked
Drain outlet is blocked
Has the appliance been installed

Are the pipes at the back
touching or vibrating?

There is too much food in the
appliance.
Hot food was placed in the
appliance.
The doors are opened too often.
- Lamp is defective
- Appliance is not plugged in
Solution
- Plug the appliance in
- Check the fuse box
Set the thermostat correctly
Clean the ventilation openings
Clear the drain outlet with a skewer
Check the installation
Check it and move the appliance forwards
In summer it is normal that the compressor operates
longer while the temperatures are higher.
Make sure the appliance is not overloaded or else the
cool air cannot circulated.
Leave hot food cool down outside of the appliance
before storing it inside.
Do not open the doors unneccessary and try opening
the doors too frequently when the weather is warm.
