Tips for Energy Savings
•
Try not to open the door too often, especially
when the weather is wet and hot. Once you
open the door, mind to close it as soon as
possible. This is especially important if you
have an upright model.
•
Every now and then check if the appliance is
sufficiently ventilated (adequate air
circulation behind the appliance).
•
Turn the thermostat knob from higher to
lower setting as soon as possible (depends
on how loaded the appliance is, ambient
temperature...).
•
Before loading the appliance with fresh food,
make sure it was cooled to ambient
temperature.
•
Ice and frost layer increase energy
consumption, so do clean the appliance as
soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.
•
If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that
the sealing is poor, the energy consumption
is substantially higher. To restore efficiency,
replace the gasket.
•
The condenser on the rear wall should be
always clean, free of dust or any impurities.
•
Always consider instructions stated in
sections Positioning and Energy Saving Tips,
otherwise the energy consumption is
substantially higher.
Important
•
This appliance can be used by children aged
from 8 years and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or metal
capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance in a safe way and understand
the hazards involved. Children shall not play
with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
•
If you have bought this appliance to replace
an old one equipped with a lock that cannot
be opened from inside (lock, bolt), make
sure that the lock is broken. This will make it
impossible for children to lock themselves
inside the appliance and suffocate.
•
The appliance must be correctly connected
to the mains supply. (see: Connecting to the
Mains Supply).
•
If the food has strange smell or color, throw
it away, because it is very likely that it is
spoiled and therefore dangerous to eat.
•
Shear-type hinge (only on some models)
enables automatic door closing at the
opening angle of 20°. On account of strong
springs take care when handling the door.
•
The bag with instructions also contains
squares and sponges, intended for
installation of integrated appliance with
shear-type hinge, as well as plastic caps for
covering of hollow spots on walls inside the
appliance.
•
Disconnect the appliance from the power
supply before repairing it (only a qualified
technician should repair it), before cleaning
and before replacing the light bulb.
•
Do not defrost the appliance with other
electric appliances (as for example with hair
dryer) and never scrape the frost layer with
sharp objects. Use only enclosed tools or
tools recommended by the manufacturer.
•
For the sake of environment protection - be
careful not to damage the rear wall of the
appliance (the condenser unit or the tubes -
for example when moving the appliance) or
any part of the refrigerating system inside
the appliance.
•
The refrigerating system of the appliance is
filled with refrigerant and oil, so when the
appliance is damaged, handle it with care
and dispose it of in compliance with
environmental protecting precautions. (See
We Care for the Environment).
•
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or his service
agent or a qualified person in order to avoid
hazard.
•
The rating plate is inside the appliance or
outside on the rear wall.
