• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the
appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run
longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing
them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the
appliance.
• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminium foil, wax
paper, or paper towel. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making
the appliance less efficient.
• Organise 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.
Disposal
• Old units still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly
method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can be
recovered and used again. The refrigerant used in your unit and
insulation materials require special disposal procedures. Ensure
that none of the pipes on the back of the unit are damaged prior to
disposal. Up to date information concerning options of disposing of
your old unit and packaging from the new one can be obtained from
your local council office.
• When disposing of an old unit break of any old locks or latches and
remove the door as a safeguard.
