TIPS
• High ambient temperatures have a negative effect on energy use. Keep the refrigerator in a position away from direct
sunlight or other sources of heat.
• Keep ventilation openings free. Clogged openings lead to higher use of energy.
• 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.
• The space between the shelves and the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment must be unobstructed to allow the
cool air to circulate. Therefore don't place any food items against the back.
• Turn the thermostat to a lower setting when the circumstances allow it.
• Before storing fresh cooked food, make sure the food has cooled at least to room temperature.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the appliance as soon as the layer is 3 to 5 mm thick.
• If the gasket is damaged or if it turns out that the sealing is poor, the energy consumption is substantially higher.
• Keep the condensor on the rear wall always clean, free of dust or any impurities.
• Always consider the instructions, otherwise the energyconsumption is substantially higher.
• If you do not use the appliance for a longer period of time (e.g. during holidays), switch the thermostat off. Defrost and
clean the larder. Leave the doors slightly open to prevent moulds and smells.

- There is a power failure
Thermostat has been set
incorrectly
Air circulation vents are blocked
Has the appliance been installed
correctly?
Are the pipes at the back
touching or vibrating?
The weather is warm and the
ambient temperature is high.
There is too much food in the
appliance.
Hot food was placed in the
appliance.
The doors are opened too often.
- Lamp is defective
- Appliance is not plugged in
The plug is inserted in the socket
for the first time or there has
been a power interruption of at
least one hour.
A component is defective or
there is a breakdown in the cool-
ing process.
Solution
- Plug the appliance in
- Check the fuse box
Set the thermostat correctly
Clean the ventilation openings
Check the installation
Check it and move the appliance forwards
In summer it is normal that the compressor
operates longer while the temperatures are
higher.
Make sure the appliance is not overloaded or
else the cool air cannot circulated.
Leave hot food cool down outside of the
appliance before storing it inside.
Do not open the doors unneccessary and try
opening the doors too frequently when the
