GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS ENERGY SAVING TIPS

This appliance must be grounded. In the event of an electri- cal short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electrical current.

This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with a grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded.

WARNING:

Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. Consult a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not com- pletely understood or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is properly grounded.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD:

Use an exclusive wall outlet. Do not connect your refrig- erator to extension cords or together with any other appliance in the same wall outlet. Do not splice the cord.

IMPORTANT WARNING: An empty refrigerator is a very dangerous attraction to children. Remove either the gas- ket, latches, lids or doors from unused appliances, or take some other action that will guarantee it harmless.

DANGER: Risk of Child Entrapment! Before you throw away your old refrigerator/freezer:

•Take off the doors.

•Leave the shelves in place so that children may not easily climb inside.

DON’T WAIT! DO IT NOW!

Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot and humid. Once you open the door, close it as soon as possible.

Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ven- tilated (adequate air circulation behind the appliance.)

Set the thermostat from cooler to warmer settings whenever possible (depending on how loaded the appliance is, ambient temperatures etc.)

Before loading the appliance with packages of hot foods, make sure that they are cooled to ambient temperature. (soups)

Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the frost layer is 3-5mm thick.

If the gasket is damaged or the door seal is poor, energy consumption is substantially higher. To restore efficiency, replace the gasket.

Always consider instructions stated in sections “Choosing the right location” and “Energy Saving Tips” otherwise the energy consumption is substantially higher.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before connecting the appliance to an electrical power supply, let it stand for about 2 hours, which will reduce the possibility of malfunctions in the cooling system due to trans- port handling.

Clean the appliance thoroughly, especially in the interior (See “Care and Maintenance” section.)
