12.5 To remove the door seal
CAUTION
Please make sure that you have
switched your appliance off at
the mains before starting your
repair.
1. Place your thumb underneath the
seal, the best method is to start at the
corner. Grab the bottom of it on the
side, and pull the gasket back.
2. Then proceed to run it around the
underside of your seal-and it can then
be gently lifted away around the door.
13. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Energy saving tips
We recommend that you follow the tips
below to save energy.
• Freezer: The internal configuration of
the appliance is the one that ensures
the most efficient use of energy.
• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy
is ensured in the configuration with
the drawers in the bottom part of
the appliance and shelves evenly
distributed. Position of the door bins
does not affect energy consumption.
12.6 To fitting the door seal
1. Take the new gasket, the best way
to fit it is starting at the top corners
of the refrigerator door. Push the lip
of the new gasket into the channel
between corners and work your
way around the door. Before fitting
the bottom corners and fit between.
Lastly work evenly at the top then the
bottom to the middle helping spread
any excess evenly on the longest
part of the seal.
2. Apply powder. Use a bit of baby
powder or talcum powder to prevent
sticking.
3. Close the refrigerator door, and open
it several times to inspect the gasket.
You are looking for any warped areas
of the gasket. Repeat this process
several times
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than necessary.
• Freezer: The colder the temperature
setting, the higher the energy
consumption.
• Fridge: Do not set too high temperature
to save energy unless it is required by
the characteristics of the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high
and the temperature control is set to
low temperature and the appliance
is fully loaded, the compressor may
run continuously, causing frost or ice
formation on the evaporator. In this
