Respecting and conserving the environment
• Install the appliance in a fresh and well-ventilated room.
Ensure that it is protected from direct sunlight and do not
place it near heat sources.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods or
opening the door too frequently in order to conserve energy.
• Do not fill the appliance with too much food: cold air must
circulate freely for food to be preserved properly. If circulation
is impeded, the compressor will work continuously.
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The internal
temperature will increase and force the compressor to work
harder and will consume more energy.
• Defrost the appliance if ice forms ( see Maintenance ). A thick
layer of ice makes cold transference to food products more
difficult and results in increased energy consumption.
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they
are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping (
see
Maintenance ).
Troubleshooting
If the appliance does not work, before calling for Assistance (see
Assistance), check for a solution from the following list.

• The plug has not been inserted into the electrical socket, or
not far enough to make contact, or there is no power in the

Heating danger
b/c) In the first case the freezer will maintain a temperature of
about 0°C so that the food does not re-freeze. In the second case,
however, the temperature will remain at approximately -18°C. To
