How to save energy
S The freezer should be installed in a dry,
well ventilated room, not exposed to
direct sunlight and not placed near
aĂheat source (radiator, etc.).
S Do not block the ventilation openings
inĂthe appliance.
S Allow warm food to cool down before
placing it in the freezer.
S Thaw frozen food by placing it in the
refrigerator. The low temperature of
theĂfrozen food cools the food in the
refrigerator.
S Defrost the appliance when ice forms.
AĂthick layer of ice impairs refrigeration
of the frozen food and increases the
power consumption.
S When loading or unloading the freezer,
open the appliance door as briefly as
possible.
The briefer the appliance door is
opened, the lower the ice formation
onĂthe freezer shelves.
S To prevent the food from warming up
quickly in the event of a power failure
orĂmalfunction, take ice blocks from the
freezer tray and place them in the top
compartment directly on the food.
