The grille of the condenser at the back and the adjacent components can be vacuumed

If you're going on vacation
If your appliance is not to be used for several months, remove all food, turn off and
unplug the appliance from the outlet. Clean and dry the inside and outside of the
appliance thoroughly. Also leave the door open, blocking it if necessary, to prevent
condensation, odors, mold.
Moving the unit
▪
Location
Do not place your appliance near a heat source, for example stove, boiler or radiator.
Also, avoid direct sunlight.
▪
Leveling
Make sure the appliance is level. Use the adjustable feet at the front. If the appliance
is not level, the doors and magnetic sealing alignments will be affected and may cause
malfunctions.
▪
Do not turn on the appliance for 4 hours
After any movement, it must not be connected for 4 hours. This delay allows the coolant
to be adjusted.
▪
Installation
Let your device breathe. Heat is released from the walls so it is important to leave a
circulation of air around your device.
Energy saving tips
▪
The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat
producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
▪
Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them inside. An overload
will force the compressor to run longer. Food that freezes too slowly may lose
quality, or deteriorate.
▪
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in
the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside.
▪
Storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
▪
Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches.
Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as
possible.
