If you're going on vacation
If your appliance is not to be used for several months, remove all food, turn off and unplug the
appliance from the outlet. Clean and dry the inside and outside of the appliance thoroughly.
Also leave the door open, blocking it if necessary, to prevent condensation, odors, mold.
Moving the unit
▪
Location
Do not place your appliance near a heat source, for example stove, boiler or radiator. Also,
avoid direct sunlight.
▪
Leveling
Make sure the appliance is level. Use the adjustable feet at the front. If the appliance is not
level, the doors and magnetic sealing alignments will be affected and may cause malfunctions.
▪
Do not turn on the appliance for 4 hours
After any movement, it must not be connected for 4 hours. This delay allows the coolant to be
adjusted.
▪
Installation
Let your device breathe. Heat is released from the walls so it is important to leave a circulation
of air around your device.
Energy saving tips
▪
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
▪
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them inside. An overload will
force the compressor to run longer. Food that freezes too slowly may lose quality, or
deteriorate.
▪
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside.
▪
Storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
▪
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as
many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
Turn off your appliance
If the unit is not likely to operate for a long period of time:
▪ Remove all food from your appliance from the appliance.
▪ Switch off the appliance by setting the thermostat to position "OFF".
▪ Unplug the appliance.
▪ Clean it thoroughly.
▪
Keep the door open to prevent odors from rising.
