Instructions for Use 42
Before Putting Into Use
• Before connecting the appliance to the mains
supply, leave it stand for about 2 hours, which
will reduce a possibility of malfunctions in the
cooling system due to transport handling.
• Clean the appliance, and be thorough,
especially in the interior (See Cleaning and
Maintenance).
• In case the interior accessories are not
correctly placed, rearrange them as described
in chapter "Description of the Appliance".
Instructions for Use
These instructions for use are intended for the
user. They describe the appliance and its correct
and safe use. They were prepared for various
types/models of refrigerators therefore you may
find in it description of some functions and
accesories that your appliance does not have.
We Care for the Environment
• Our products use environmentally friendly
packaging, which can be either recycled or
disposed of in an environmentally friendly
manner. To this end, individual packaging
materials are clearly marked.
• These instructions are printed either on
recycled paper or chlorine free bleached paper.
• When your appliance finally wears out, please
try not to burden the environment with it; call
your nearest authorised service agent. (See
Disposing of the Worn Out Appliance)
Tips for Energy Savings
• Try not to open the door too often, especially
when the weather is wet and hot. Once you
open the door, mind to close it as soon as
possible. This is especially important if you
have an upright model.
• Every now and then check if the appliance is
sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation
behind the appliance).
• Set thermostat from higher to lower settings as
soon as possible (depends on how loaded the
appliance is, ambient temperature etc).
• Before loading the appliance with packages of
fresh foods, make sure they are cooled to
ambient temperature.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy
consumption, so do clean the appliance as
soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that
the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is
substantially higher. To restore efficiency,
replace the gasket.
• The condenser on the rear wall should be
always clean, free of dust or any impurities.
• Always consider instructions stated in sections
Positioning and Energy Saving Tips, otherwise
the energy consumption is substantially higher.
