Energy Saving Tips
•Do not install the appliance near boilers, radiators or other sources of heat. High ambient temperatures cause longer, more frequent operation of the compressor.
•Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.
•Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first.
•Do not leave the door open any longer than necessary.
•Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
•Check the storage temperature in the freezer on the thermometer.
•Put frozen food in the fridge to defrost. The cold in the frozen food will then be used to cool the fridge.

Correcting Malfunctions
A malfunction may be caused by only a minor fault that you can recti- fy yourself using the following instructions. Do not perform any other work on the appliance if the following information does not provide assistance in your specific case.
Important! Repairs to refrigerators/freezers may only be performed by competent service engineers. Improper repairs can give rise to signifi- cant hazards for the user. If your appliance needs repairing, please contact your specialist dealer or your local Service Force Centre.
If the freezer system has stopped working and the freezer is full, the reserve in the cold accumulator and in the deep frozen food itself will give the food a hold over time of about 29 hours. If the freezer is without a cold accumulator the hold over time will be reduced to about 20 hours.
