malfunctions in the cooling system due to transport handling.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot and humid. Once you open the door, close it as
soon as possible.
• Every now and then check if the appliance is suffi ciently ventilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance).
• Set the thermostat from cooler to warmer settings whenever possible (depending on how loaded the appliance is,
ambient temperatures etc.).
• Before loading the appliance with packages of hot food, make sure that they are cooled to ambient temperature.
• Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the frost layer is 3-5 mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or the door seal is poor, energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore effi ciency,
replace the gasket.
• Always consider instructions stated in this manual.
• This unit is not designed for outside installation, including installation anywhere that is not temperature controlled
(including garages, porches, carports, etc.).
