Instructions for Use 42
Before Putting Into Use
• Before connecting the appliance to the mains
supply, leave it stand for about 2 hours which
will reduce the possibility of malfunctions in the
cooling system that might have occurred due to
transport handling.
• Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially the
interior (see Cleaning and Maintenance).
Instructions for Use
These instructions for use were prepared for the
user. They describe the appliance and its correct
and safe use. They were prepared for various
types/models of appliances therefore you might
find in it description of some functions and
accesories that do not apply to your appliance.
We Care for the Environment
• Our products use environmentally friendly
packaging, which can be either recycled or
disposed of in an environmentally friendly
manner. To this end, individual packaging
materials are clearly marked.
• These instructions are printed either on
recycled paper or chlorine free bleached paper.
• When your appliance finally wears out, please
try not to burden the environment with it; call
your nearest authorised service agent. (See
Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance)
Tips for Energy Saving
• This is especially important if you have an
upright model.
• Every now and then check if the appliance is
sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation
behind the appliance).
• 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.
• The condenser on the rear wall should be
always clean, free of dust or any impurities.
• Always consider instructions stated in sections
Positioning and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise
the energy consumption is substantially higher.
