Before Putting Into Use

cooling system that might have occurred due to
transport handling.
• Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially the
interior (see Cleaning and Maintenance).

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.
• 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.
