•  Do not place food against the rear wall of the appliance. The shelves have a stopper to prevent this.
•  Do not leave the doors open for longer than necessary

Tips

•  High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on energy use. Keep the appliance in a position away from direct sunlight or other sources of heat.
•  Keep ventilation openings free. Clogged openings lead to higher use of energy.
•  Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you open the door, mind to close it as soon as possible.
•  The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment must be unobstructed to allow the cool air to circulate. Therefore don’t place any food items against the back.
•  Turn the thermostat to a lower setting when the circumstances allow it.
•  Before storing fresh cooked food, make sure the food has cooled at least to room temperature.
•  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.
•  Always consider the instructions, otherwise the energyconsumption is substantially higher.

Wipe the inside of the appliance after cleaning with clean water and properly wipe everything dry. Leave the appliance to dry for 1 to 2 hours. The shelves, drawers and door compartments can be removed from the appliance easily and washed by hand. These components may never be cleaned in the dishwasher. For areas that are difficult to clean in the refrigerator, such as narrow gaps or corners, it is recommended to wipe them regularly with a soft rag, soft brush, etc. When necessary use some auxiliary tools, such as thin sticks (tooth picks), to ensure no contamination can accumulate in these areas. Clean the outside of the refrigerator and the door gasket with mild soap and water. Use a soft moist cloth. We recommend that you dust the back of the appliance and on the floor with a cloth or vacuum cleaner once a year in order to maintain a good output and low energy consumption. Do not use hard brushes, cleaning steel wire balls, wire brushes, abrasives, such as toothpastes, organic solvents (such as alcohol, acetone, oils, etc.), boiling water, acid or alkaline items to clean the refrigerator considering that this may damage the fridge surface and interior. Boiling water and benzene may deform or damage plastic parts..

DEFROSTING
The freezer compartment of the appliance is frost-free – no-frost. With proper use, there should not be any frost accumulated. However, in case of improper use of the freezer compartment, frost might build up in the freezer compartment after the appliance has been used for a period of time. Defrost the freezer compartment when the layer of ice reaches a thickness of 3 mm. Keep the contents of the freezer in a cool place and wrapped in blankets or newspapers. Switch the thermostat off. Defrost the freezer compartment. You can speed up the defrosting process by placing a bowl of hot water in the freezer. Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the refrigerator circuit and cause irreparable damage t the unit. Use a plastic scraper.  Clean and dry the freezer. Plug the appliance in and set the thermostat to the desired temperature setting. When the freezer compartment reaches its correct temperature, replace the food items. Warning: Never remove the ice with the aid of sharp objects, defrost sprays, a hair- drier, a heater, or similar items. This may lead to unsafe situations and may cause irreparable damage to the appliance
