Short vacation
Thereisnoneedtodisconnecttheappliancefrom
thepowersupplyifyouwillbeawayforlessthan
threeweeks.Useupperishablefood,freezeother

partofbothdoorswithadhesivetapeandleave
thedoorsopenenoughforairtocirculateinside
bothcompartments.Thiswillpreventodourand

Moving
1.Takeoutallinternalparts.
2.Wrapthemwell,andfixthemtogetherwith
adhesivetapesothattheydonotbangtogether
orgetlost.
3.Screwtheadjustablefeetsothattheydonot
touchthesupportsurface.
4.Closeandfixbothdoorswithadhesivetape
and,againusingadhesivetape,fixthepower
cabletotheappliance.
Power failure
Intheeventofapowerfailure,callthelocaloffice
ofyourelectricitysupplycompanyandaskhow
longitisgoingtolast.
Note:Bearinmindthatafullappliancewillstay
coldlongerthanapartiallyfilledone.
Ificecrystalsarestillvisibleonthefood,itmaybe
frozenagain,althoughflavourandaromamaybe
affected.
Iffoodisfoundtobeinapoorcondition,itisbest
tothrowitaway.
Forpowerfailureslastingupto24hours.
1.Keepbothdoorsoftheapplianceclosed.This
willallowthestoredfoodtostaycoldaslongas
possible.
Forpowerfailureslastingmorethan24hours.
1.Emptythefreezercompartmentandarrange
thefoodinaportablefreezer.Ifthistype
offreezerisnotavailableand,likewise,no
artificialicepacksareavailable,trytouseup
thefood,whichismoreeasilyperishable.

RECOMANDATION IN CASE OF
NO USE OF THE APPLIANCE
• Install the appliance in a dry,well ventilatedroom farawayfrom anyheatsource (e.g.radiator,
cooker,etc.)andinaplacenotexposeddirectlytothesun.Ifrequired,useaninsulatingplate.
• To guarantee adequate ventilation, leave a space on both sides and above the appliance.The
distancebetweentherearoftheapplianceandthewallbehindtheapplianceshouldbe50mm.A
reductionofthisspacewillincreasetheEnergyconsumptionofproduct.
• Insufficientventilationonbackoftheproductincreasesenergyconsumptionanddecreasescooling
efficiency.
• Theinternaltemperaturesoftheappliancemaybeaffectedbytheambienttemperature,frequency
of door opening, as well as location of the appliance. Temperature setting should take into
considerationthesefactors.
• Allowwarmfoodanddrinkstocooldownbeforeplacingintheappliance.
• Donotobstructthefanwithfooditems.
• Afterplacingthe foodcheck ifthedoor ofcompartmentsclosesproperly,especially thefreezer
door.
• Reducetoaminimumdooropening.
• Whenthawingfrozenfood,placethemintherefrigerator.Thelowtemperatureofthefrozenproducts
coolsthefoodintherefrigerator.
• Forapplianceswithspecialcompartments(FreshFoodCompartment,ZeroDegreesBox,…)they
canberemovedwhennotinuse.
• Positioningoftheshelvesintherefrigeratorhasnoimpactontheefficientusageofenergy.Food
shouldbeplacedontheshelvesinsuchwaytoensureproperaircirculation(foodshouldnottouch
eachotheranddistancebetweenfoodandrearwallshouldbekept).
• Youcanincreasethestoragecapacityoffrozenfoodbyremovingtheflapand/orbasket(according
totheProductSheet),maintainingthesameenergyconsumption.
• Thecondenser(thecoilplacedintherearoftheappliance)shouldbecleanedregularly.
• Damagedorleakygasketmustbereplacedassoonaspossible.
