Instruction for use
13. To remove a drawer, pull it as far as

completely.
Energy consuption
Maximum frozen food storage volume is
achieved without using the upper shelf cover
provided in the freezer compartment. Energy
consumption of your appliance is declared
while the freezer compartment is fully loaded
without the use of the upper shelf
cover.
Practical advice concerning the reduction
of the electricity consumption
1. Make sure that the appliance is located in
well-ventilated areas, far from any source of
heat (cooker, radiator etc.). At the same time,
the location of the appliance must be done in
such a way that it prevents it to be under the
direct incidence of the sunbeams.
2. Make sure that the food purchased in
refrigerated/frozen condition is placed into the
appliance as soon as possible, especially during
summertime. It is recommended to use thermal
insulated bags to transport the food home.
3. We recommend the thawing of the packets
taken out from the freezer compartment be
done in the refrigerator compartment. For this
purpose, the packet which is going to be
thawed will be placed in a vessel so that the
water resulting from the thawing does not leak
in the refrigerator compartment. We
recommend you to start the thawing at least
24 hours before the use of the frozen food.
4. We recommend reducing the number of
door openings to the minimum.
5. Do not keep the door of the appliance open
more than necessary and make sure that after
each opening the door is well closed.
Reversing the doors
The door of your refrigerator is designed to
operate towards both sides at your
convenience. If you want the door to open
towards the other side, please call the nearest
authorized maintenance service for
assistance.
