1.6. Warnings for energy
1) Refrigerating appliances may not operate consistently (e.g., defrosting of contents or temperature becoming too warm in the freezer compartment) when exposed for an extended period to temperatures below the cold limit of their designated climate class.
2) Carbonated drinks should not be stored in freezer compartments, food storage compartments, or low-temperature chambers/cabinets, and some products like ice water should not be consumed when excessively cold.
3) Storage times recommended by food manufacturers should not be exceeded for any type of food, especially for quick-frozen commercial foods stored in freezer compartments or cabinets.
4) Precautions must be taken to avoid unnecessary temperature rise of frozen food during defrosting of the appliance, such as wrapping the frozen food in several layers of newspaper.
5) An increase in the temperature of frozen foods during manual defrosting, maintenance, or cleaning may reduce their storage life.
6) Keeping the door open for extended periods may result in a significant increase in temperature in the compartments of the appliance.
7) Clean regularly any surfaces that may encounter food and accessible drainage systems.
8) Clean the water tanks if they have not been used for 48 hours. Flush the water system connected to a water supply if it has not been used for 5 days.

2. PROPER USE OF REFRIGERATORS
2.1. Placement
2.2. Starting to use
Before first use:
– Leave the refrigerator standing upright for at least 30 minutes before plugging it into the power socket.
• Before storing food:
– The refrigerator should operate for at least 3–4 hours (or more than 4 hours during summer) before placing fresh or frozen food inside.
• Opening doors:
– Ensure there is sufficient space around the refrigerator for easy opening of the doors and drawers. The image is provided for reference only; actual configuration depends on the specific model and distributor instructions.
2.3. Energy-Saving Tips
• Appliance placement:
– Place the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, away from heat sources such as other appliances or heating ducts, and away from direct sunlight.
• Food storage:
– Let hot food cool to room temperature before placing it in the refrigerator.
– Do not overload the refrigerator, as this forces the compressor to work harder.
– Slow freezing of food can result in quality loss or spoilage.
• Proper storage:
– Wrap food properly and dry containers before placing them in the refrigerator to reduce frost buildup.
– Do not cover the storage bin with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towels, as they obstruct cold air circulation and reduce the efficiency of the refrigerator.
• Organization:
– Organize food items to minimize door openings and prolonged searches.
– Remove all necessary items and close the door as quickly as possible.
Please read these instructions and the Safety guidelines carefully before using your new Fridge / Freezer. The Fridge / Freezer is for indoor, domestic use only.
