Hints and ideas
In this chapter practical hints and ideas are given about how to use the appliance to reach maximum energy saving and there is environmental information about the appliance as well.
How to save energy
Avoid putting the appliance in a sunny place and near anything that gives off heat.
Be sure that the condenser and the compressor are well ventilated. Do not cover the sections where ventilation is.
Wrap products in tightly closing dishes or cling film to avoid building up unnecessary frost.
Do not leave the door open longer
than necessary and avoid unnecessary openings.
Put warm foods into the appliance only when they are at room temperature.
Keep the condenser clean.

Maintenance
Defrosting
Bleeding part of the moisture of cooling chambers in form of frost and ice goes with the operation of the appliance.
Thick frost and ice has an insulating effect, so it reduces cooling efficiency as the temperature increases in the cooling chambers, they need more energy.
At this type of appliance defrosting the cooling surface of the refrigerator is
automatic without any external intervention.The thermostatic control interrupts the operation of compressor at regular intervals for more or less time - during this cooling is interrupted - the temperature of the cooling surface goes above 0 °C due to interior heating load of the compartment, so defrosting occurs. When the surface temperature of the cooling surface has reached +3 - +4 °C the thermostatic control restarts operation of the system.
Melting water flows through defrost water outlet leaded through the back into the evaporator tray maintained on the top of
