thermostat to the desired position.(Recommendation).
• Do not allow the fresh food to be frozen to come into contact with the already frozen
food.
EN - 6 -
• Always mark the date and the content on the pack and do not exceed the stated
storage time.
• In case of a power failure or malfunction, the freezer compartment will maintain a
sufficiently low temperature for food storage. However, avoid opening the freezer
door to slow down the temperature rise within the freezer compartment.
• The maximum amount of fresh foods that can be loaded in the freezer within 24
hours is indicated on the name plate ( see Freezing Capacity).
• Never place warm food in the freezer compartment.
• When purchasing and storing frozen food products; ensure that the packaging is not
damaged.
• The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing frozen foods are

Tips for saving energy
1– Install the appliance in a cool, well ventilated room , but not in direct sunlight and
not near heat source (radiator, cooker.. etc). Otherwise use an insulating plate.
2– Allow warm food and drinks to cool down outside the appliance.
3– W hen placing, drinks and left-overs they must be covered. Otherwise humidity
increases in the appliance, therefore the working time gets longer. Also covering
drinks and left-overs helps to save smell and taste.
4– When placing food and drinks, open the appliance door as briefly as possible.
5– Keep the covers closed of any different temperature compartment in the appliance
(crisper, chiller ...etc ).
