•  Do not open the door more often than necessary.

•  Occasionally make sure air circulation underneath the appliance is unobstructed.

•  Before placing the food in the appliance, cool it to room temperature.

•  Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator compartment.

•  Remove some of the drawers from the freezer compartment as described in the 

instruction manual, in order to make use of the entire interior.

•  Defrost your conventional freezer when an approximately 3-5 milimeter layer of of frost 

or ice has built up on the refrigerated surfaces.

•  Make sure the layout of shelves in the compartment is uniform and that the food 

is placed so that the air can freely circulate in the appliance interior (observe the 

recommended placement of food as described in the instructions).

•  In appliances with a fan, do not block the fan slots.

•  If you do not need the fan or the ionizer, switch them off  to reduce power consumption.
