setting as soon as possible (depends on how loaded

· Before loading the appliance with fresh food, make
sure it was cooled to ambient temperature. (except
for the soup)
· Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so
do clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5
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.
· Condenser at the bottom of the appliance must
always be clean and dust free (see Section Cleaning
of the Appliance).
· Always consider instructions stated in sections
Positioning and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the
energy consumption is substantially higher.
· If you have bought this appliance to replace an old
one equipped with a lock that cannot be opened
from inside (lock, bolt), make sure that the lock is
broken. This will make it impossible for children to
lock themselves inside the appliance and suffocate.
