SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

 

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

 

 

 

When throwing away an old fridge equipped with a door lock that cannot be opened from the inside, make sure that the lock is removed, disabled or destroyed before discarding. This will make it impossible for children to accidentally lock themselves inside the appliance and suffocate.

The appliance must be properly connected to an electrical power supply (See: “Connection to Power Supply”.)

If the food has a strange smell or color throw it away because it is very likely that it is spoiled and therefore is dangerous to consume.

Always disconnect the appliance from the power supply before cleaning the appliance and replacing the light bulb.

WARNING: Repairs should be performed by qualified service personnel only.

Do not defrost the appliance with other electric appliance (for example a hair dryer) and never attempt to scrape/remove ice/frost with sharp objects. Use only enclosed tools or tools recommended by the manufacturer.

The rating plate containing Model No/Serial No and other technical data specific to this unit, is located either inside the appliance or outside on the rear wall.

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.

DISPOSING WORN OUT 

APPLIANCES

The refrigerator system of the appliance is filled with refrig- erant and insulating substances which should be separately treated and processed. Call your nearest authorized service agent or specialized servicing center. If you are unable to locate one, contact your local authorities or your distributor. Be careful not to damage the tubes on the rear wall of the appliance.
