• Before putting any fresh or frozen foods, the refrigerator shall have run for 2-3 hours, or for above 4 hours in summer when the ambient temperature is high.
• Spare enough space for convenient opening of the doors and drawers or statement by the distributor.

2.6 Energy saving tips

• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
• Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.

• From time to time check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (air circulation adequate behind the appliance). Under normal temperature conditions, you should adjust the thermostat to the medium position.
• Before loading the appliance with fresh food packages, ensure that they are cooled to ambient temperature.
• The increase of ice and frost layer consumes energy, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick. If the condenser is exterior, the rear wall must always be clean, free of dust or impurities.
• The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to ambient temperature before placing them in the appliance. Overloading the appliance makes the compressor run longer. Foods that freeze slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to properly wrap foods and dry the containers before placing them in the appliance. This reduces frost accumulation inside the appliance.
• Storage compartment, should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper or paper towels. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label foods to reduce door opening and prolonged searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
