Occasionally make sure air circulation underneath the appliance is
unobstructed.

some of the drawers as described in the instruction manual.
•
Defrost your conventional freezer when an approximately 3–5 millimetre
layer 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 or vents.
•
If you do not need the fan or the ionizer, switch them off to reduce power
consumption.
