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 freshly cooked food, make sure the food has cooled at least to room temperature.
Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3 to 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.
Always consider the instructions, otherwise, the energy consumption is substantially higher.

To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions
– Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase in the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
– Clean regular surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
– Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or drip onto other food.
– Two-star frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making ice cream, and making ice cubes.
