temperatures of the frozen
products to cool food in the
refrigerator.
- Do not keep the door of the
appliance open for too long
when putting food in or taking
food out.
The shorter time for which the
door is open, the less ice will
form in the freezer.
- Clean the rear of the
refrigerator regularly.
Dust increases energy
consumption.
- Do not set temperature colder
than necessary.
- Ensure sufficient air exhaust
at the refrigerator base
and at the back wall of the
refrigerator.
Do not cover air vent
openings.
- Allow clearance to the right,
left, back and top when
installing.

with the plastic fittings or door seals, as these
materials easily become porous.
