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 condenser is located on the inside of
your refrigerator. The absorber system uses
the condenser to draw off heat from the
refrigerator. Therefore, never place plastic or
paper over the condenser. Air must be able
to circulate freely through the refrigerator so
that heat can be extracted.
Important! Do not cover the condenser at
the back of the refrigerator with plastic or
paper. The refrigerator cools optimally when
air is allowed to move freely through the
refrigerator.
