READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY TIPS

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory
or mental capabilities may be different or reduced, or who lack knowledge, unless such persons
receive supervision or training to operate the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use extension cords or ungrounded (two prong) adapters.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar
qualifi ed person in order to avoid hazard.
Warning: Keep ventilation openings in the appliance enclosure or in the built-in structure clear of
obstruction.
Warning: Do not use mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process other
than those reccommended by the manufacturer.

ENERGY SAVING TIPS

• Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is hot and humid. Once you open
the door, close it as soon as possible.
• Every now and then check if the appliance is suffi ciently ventilated and that there is adequate air
circulation behind the appliance.
• Set the thermostat from cooler to warmer settings whenever possible, depending on how loaded
the appliance is, ambient temperatures and other variables.
• Do not place hot food into the refrigerator, this can cause condensation inside the unit and force
the compressor to over work. Make sure all contents are cooled to ambient room temperature
before refrigeration.
• Ice and frost layers increase energy consumption. If the frost layer reaches 3-5 mm thick, the unit
should be manually defrosted by unplugging the unit and allowing it to remain undisturbed until the
frost has melted. Place a towel or pan under the unit during manual defrosting to catch any excess
melt water and to protect your fl ooring from water damage.
• If the gasket is damaged or the door seal is poor, energy consumption is substantially higher. To
restore effi ciency, replace the gasket.
• Always consider instructions stated in this manual.
• This unit is not designed for outside installation, including installation anywhere that is not
temperature controlled, including but not limited to garages, porches, carports, etc.
