CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE (cont’d)
• Before loading the appliance with packages of fresh food, make sure
they are cooled to ambient temperature.
• Ice and frost layer increase energy consumption, so clean the
appliance as soon as the layer is 3-5 mm thick.
• If it is the outer condenser, the rear wall should be always clean free of
dust or any 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 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 aluminium foil, wax
paper, or paper towel. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making
the appliance less efficient.
• Organise 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.
Disposal
• This marking indicates that this appliance should not be
disposed with other house-hold wastes. To prevent possible
harm to the environment or human health from uncontrolled
waste disposal, recycle it responsibly to promote the
sustainable reuse of material resources.
• Old units still have some residual value. An environmentally friendly
method of disposal will ensure that valuable raw materials can be
recovered and used again.
• The refrigerant used in your unit and insulation materials require
special disposal procedures. Ensure that none of the pipes on the back
of the unit are damaged prior to disposal.
