Do not fill the appliance with too much food:
cold air must circulate freel for food to be
preserved properl . If circulation is impeded, the

Do not place hot food directl into the refrigerator.
The internal temperature will increase and force the
compressor to work harder and will consume more
energ .
Defrost the appliance if ice forms (see
Maintenance). A thick la er of ice makes cold
transference to food products more difficult and
results in increased energ consumption.
Regularl check the door seals and wipe clean to
ensure the are free of debris and to prevent cold
air from escaping (see Maintenance).
