Cleaning and Maintenance
MOVING YOUR FRIDGE
→Remove all the food.
→Securely tape down all loose items inside your fridge.
→Remove the rollers to prevent damage.
→Tape the doors shut.
→Be sure the fridge stays in the upright position during transportation.
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
→The fridge should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
→Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the fridge. Overloading the
fridge forces the compressor to run longer.
→Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
fridge. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the fridge/freezer.
→
→Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as
many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
SERVICING
→
→
Your fridge should only be serviced by an authorised service agent of the Residentia
Group.
→Under no circumstances should you attempt to repair or alter the appliance yourself.
Repairs carried out by inexperienced persons may cause personal injury or serious
malfunction.
