Energy saving tips
• Place the fridge in the coolest area of the room, away from heat-producing
appliances and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them into the fridge.
Overloading the fridge forces the compressor to run longer.
• Wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the fridge. This
cuts down on frost build-up inside the fridge.
• Do not line any fridge storage bin with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper towels.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, reducing cooling efficiency.
• Position food so that air can circulate freely around it.
• Do not leave the fridge door open for longer than required.
Power failure
Most power failures are corrected within a few hours and should not affect the
temperature inside your fridge, if you minimise the number of times the door is
opened. However, if the power is going to be off for a longer period of time, you need
to take proper steps to protect your food.
Going away?
• Short vacation
: Leave the fridge operating during vacations of less than a month.
• Long vacation
: If you are not going to use the fridge for longer periods, remove all
food and unplug the power cord. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent
odour and mould growth, leave the door open slightly, blocking it open, if necessary.
(Restrict children’s access to the room with the open fridge to avoid creating a child
entrapment risk.)
Moving the fridge
• Remove all food from inside the fridge, securely tape down the drawer and shelves
and tape the door shut. Turn the levelling feet up to the base to avoid damage.
• Protect the outside of the unit with a blanket or similar soft material and make sure
the fridge stays secure in the upright position during transportation.
