ENERGY SAVING TIPS

- Install the Appliance Correctly

This means that the appliance should be installed away from sources of heat or direct sunlight, in a well ventilated room.

- Correct Temperature Settings

Set the freezer temperature knob to one of the medium settings. Very low temperatures will not only consume a great deal of energy, but will neither improve nor lengthen the storage life of the food.

- Shut the Doors

Open your appliance only when strictly necessary - every time you open the door most of the cold air will be lost. In order to restore the correct temperature, the motor will have to run and consume energy.

- Check the Door Seals

Keep the seals clean and pliable so that they fit closely against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost.

- Avoid Frost Buildup

Remember to check the sides of the freezer for frost. When the frost becomes too thick, defrost the freezer immediately (See, "Caring for Your Appliance").

CARING FOR YOUR APPLIANCE

Before doing any cleaning, disconnect the appliance from the electricity (by pulling out the plug or turning off the general switch in your home).

Defrosting

WARNING: do not damage the refrigeration circuit. Do not use mechanical devices or other tools to speed up the defrosting process, unless they have been rec- ommended by the manufacturer.

It is a good idea to remove the frost buildup from the inside of the appliance from time to time.

Make sure not to use pointed metal objects to do so as this could result in piercing the refrigeration circuits, causing ir- reparable damage to the appliance. Use the plastic scraper provided with the freezer.

To defrost the freezer completely (which should be done once or twice a year), disconnect the appliance from the power supply and leave the door open until all the frost has melted.

The freezer is equipped with a system to drain the water from the defrosting procedure. Simply, place a container in the position indicated in fig. 1.

To speed up defrosting, one or more pots of warm water can be placed inside the appliance.

While defrosting the freezer, it is a good idea to wrap the food taken from the freezer in several layers of paper and place it in a cool place. Since the temperature of the frozen food will inevitably rise, it is best to consume it quickly as its storage life will have been shortened.

Cleaning and Maintenance

The inside of the freezer should be cleaned on a periodic basis after it has been defrosted. Only use a water and bi- carbonate solution to clean the appliance. Do not use abra- sive cleaning products, detergents or soap. After the inside has been cleaned, rinse well with clean water and dry care- fully.

Once the appliance has been cleaned, turn on the appli- ance, following the instructions in "Setting Up Your Appli- ance."
