· This is especially important if you have an upright
model.
· Check periodically if the appliance is provided with
sufficient cooling (undisturbed circulation of air
through the bottom rail openings).
· Turn the thermostat knob from higher to lower
setting as soon as possible (depends on how loaded
the appliance is, ambient temperature...)
· Never use continuous operation unless unnecessarily
required; switch the operation mode selection switch
to the setting for automatic operation as soon as
possible.
· Before freezing packages of fresh foods, make sure
they are cooled to ambient temperature. (except for
the soup)
· 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.
· Condenser at the bottom of the appliance must
always be clean and dust free (see Section Cleaning
of the Appliance).
· Always consider instructions stated in sections
Positioning and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise the
energy consumption is substantially higher.
If you've 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 the children to lock
themselves in the appliance and suffocate.
· Mind to connect the appliance correctly to the mains
supply (see Connection to the Mains Supply).
· Do not touch the cooled surfaces while the appliance
operates, especially not with wet hands, because the
skin might stick to the cold surfaces.
