TIPS FOR ENERGY SAVINGS
Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot/humid. Once
you open the door, close it as soon as possible. Make sure that the door is properly
closed when the appliance is in operation.
Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air
circulation around the appliance).
The unit should be installed in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and direct
sunlight.
Before loading the appliance with fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to ambient
temperature.
HOLIDAY
Short periods: let the appliance run during if the period is less than three weeks.
Long periods: If the unit will not be used for several months, remove all the contents
and unplug. Clean and dry the interior thoroughly. To prevent the possible formation
of condensation, mold, or odors leave the door slightly open.
TO MOVE THE UNIT
Turn the unit off and then disconnect it from the wall outlet, then remove all movable
parts and contents. Screw the legs to the base to avoid damage and close the door
securely using tape. During transport carry the refrigerator in an upright position only.
Any other position may damage the compressor. Do not lift or pull the door or the door
handle during transportation. Ultimately protect the exterior of the appliance with a
blanket, or similar item.
