in the same container. They should
be packaged and stored separately.
Don’t- Let defrosting food or food juices drip

Don’t- Leave the door open for long periods,
as this will make the appliance more

Energy Consumption
Maximum frozen food storage volume is
achieved without using the drawers provided
in the freezer compartment. Energy
consumption of your appliance is declared
while the freezer compartment is fully loaded
without using the drawers.
Practical advice concerning the reduction
of the electricity consumption
1. Make sure that the appliance is located in
well-ventilated areas, far from any source of
heat (cooker, radiator etc.). At the same time,
the location of the appliance must be done in
such a way that it prevents it to be under the
direct incidence of the sunbeams.
2. Make sure that the food purchased in
refrigerated/frozen condition is placed into the
appliance as soon as possible, especially
during summertime. It is recommended to use
thermal insulated bags to transport the food
home.
3. We recommend the thawing of the packets
taken out from the freezer compartment be
done in the refrigerator compartment. For this
purpose, the packet which is going to be
thawed will be placed in a vessel so that the
water resulting from the thawing does not leak
in the refrigerator compartment. We
recommend you to start the thawing at least
24 hours before the use of the frozen food.
4. We recommend reducing the number of
door openings to the minimum.
5. Do not keep the door of the appliance
open more than necessary and make sure
that after each opening the door is well
closed.
