3.8 Heated front surface
There is a front surface heating system
inside the cabinet to limit the formation of
condensation around the door seal.
3.9 Turning the appliance off
Whenever the appliance is to remain
unused for long periods, it should be
switched off.
1. Unplug the appliance from the wall
socket.
2. Empty the compartments.
3. Let the appliance defrost independently
and remove the residual accumulated
moisture with a soft cloth.
3.10 Food storage advice
Practical energy saving advice
• Correct use of the appliance, correct
packaging of foodstuffs, a constant
temperature and food hygiene have
significant effects on the quality of storage.
• Reduce the number of times that the doors
are opened and the length of time they
remain open to prevent the compartments
from heating up excessively.
• Clean the condenser on the back of the
appliance periodically to prevent its
efficiency from being reduced.
• Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator
compartment in order to make use of the
cold stored in the frozen foods.
General advice
• Always check the expiry date on the
food packaging.
• The foodstuffs must be stored in closed or
pre-packaged containers and must not
be able to emit or absorb moisture and
odours.
• Remove perishable products from the
appliance if you are going away for a
long period.
• Do not eat food with an anomalous
appearance or smell.
• If power supply is missing, open the
doors of the appliance as seldom as
possible, so as to avoid thawing or
warming up, even partial, of food, which
would lower their nutritional value.
• Climatic conditions, temperature of fresh
food introduced into the compartments
and frequency with which the doors are
opened, affect the appliance operating
temperatures.
• Leave the door ajar to ensure
that moisture and stagnant air do
not cause unpleasant odours.
• Wait at least 5 minutes before
restarting the appliance or
plugging it in so as not to
damage the compressor.
