About your refrigerator
Your refrigerator has a cold space and a freezer
compartment. After starting up the refrigerator,
allow it to cool for at least eight hours before
placing any food in it.
Cold space
The cooling fins are located on the inside of
your refrigerator. The absorption system uses
the cooling fins to withdraw heat from the
refrigerator. Therefore, never place plastic or
paper over the cooling fins. Air must be able to
circulate freely through the refrigerator so that
heat can be extracted.
Important! Do not cover the cooling fins
at the back of the refrigerator with plastic
or paper. The refrigerator cools optimally
when air is allowed to move freely through
the refrigerator.
• To limit frosting on the cooling fins:
- always cover liquid foods before
placing them in the refrigerator;
