How to Turn on the Refrigerator
Plug the refrigerator into the outlet and set the
temperature control to the maximum position.
A few minutes after completely closing the door,
both sides of the appliance will be warm.
The external temperature of the refrigerator will
slowly rise, and then stabilize. After approximately
30 minutes, open the freezer door and you will then
feel cold air. This means that the appliance is
operating properly. After a certain amount of time,
the thermostat will turn itself off and on again
automatically, and will maintain the compartments
at the desired temperature.

refrigerator, or after you defrost it.

little, in one hour intervals.

Transportation
To move the refrigerator, do not lean it to the right side of the person facing it. For
short distances, lean it back or to one of its sides, to a 30° angle at most. For long
distances, such as when moving, keep it in an upright position.
How to Save Energy
01.
The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as necessary; do not
place hot food inside the refrigerator.
02.
The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid increased energy
consumption, and the formation of excess ice and/or condensation inside.
03.
Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature homogenous inside the
refrigerator. For this reason, it is important to properly distribute the food, to
facilitate the flow of air.
04.
Do not hang clothing, cloths or objects on the condenser, located behind the
refrigerator. This will affect its functioning, causing strain on the compressor
(motor) and increase energy consumption.
05.
During prolonged absences (example: vacations) it is advisable to
disconnect the refrigerator, remove all the food, and clean it. The door should
be left slightly open to avoid mold and unpleasant odors. This will not affect the
refrigerator when it is reconnected.
06.
During short absences (ex.: holidays), the refrigerator can remain on.
However, remember that prolonged power outages may occur while you are
gone.
How to Disconnect the Refrigerator
Pull the plug out. Remove the ice trays and food.
Leave the door slightly open for air to circulate and to dehumidify both sections.
Whenever you disconnect the refrigerator, wait at least 10 minutes before
turning it on again.
If you intend to disconnect the refrigerator for a long period of time, you should
unplug it and then clean it thoroughly. Be sure to leave the door slightly open and
leave it in a well ventilated place to avoid unpleasant odors.
