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.
The appliance and environment

The appliance shall not be discarded together with the urban refuse and rubbish. Avoid damaging the cooling unit, especially at the rear near the heat exchanger. Information on your local disposal sites may be obtained from your municipal authorities.

Defrosting
Refrigerator
The refrigerator defrosts every time the compressor stops. The water is discharged, via the pipe, into a tray located at the back of the appliance above the compressor, where it evaporates.
Important
To avoid defrost water overflowing into the fridge, periodically clean the water discharge hole in the centre of the V shaped drip collector at the back of the refrigerator compartment, behind the salad drawers.
Use a piece of flexible curtain wire for this purpose.
