Tips

Power Saving Tips

• Install the appliance in a cool, dry room with adequate ventilation. Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat (radiator, for example). - Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance. - Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance. - Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw. You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator. - Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out. The shorter time for which the door is open, the less ice will form in the freezer.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Your fridge/freezer is operated by a compressor which switches "Operation" to maintain the internal temperature. For the first five minutes after initial start-up, it may be slightly noisy. This is quite normal and does not represent a fault.

Store food once the temperature in the refrigerator is sufficiently low. It takes a few hours after starting the refrigerator to reach the proper temperature.
