ADDiTionAL TiPs for ProPEr usAgE
• To get best performance of product,
   -   Do not place foods too closely in front of the vents at the rear of the appliance 
as it can obstruct free air circulation in the freezer compartment.
   -  
Wrap the food up properly or place it in airtight containers before put it into the fridge freezer.   -   Do not put any newly introduced food for freezing near to already frozen food.• Do not place carbonated or fizzy drinks in the freezer compartment.• Please observe maximum storage times and expiry dates of frozen goods.•  There is no need to disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply if you will be 
away for less than three weeks. But, remove all the food if you are going away for 
the three weeks or more. Unplug the refrigerator and clean it, rinse and dry.
•   In the event of a power failure, call the local office of your Electricity Company 
and ask how long it is going to last. Most power failures that are corrected in an 
hour or two will not affect your refrigerator temperatures. However, you should 
minimize the number of door openings while the power is off. But should the 
power failure last more than 24hours, remove all frozen food.
•   If the key is provided with refrigerator, the keys should be kept out of the reach 
of children and not in the vicinity of the appliance.
•  The appliance might not operate consistently (possibility of defrosting of 
contents or temperature becoming too warm in the frozen food compartment) 
when sited for an extended period of time below the cold end of the rang\
e of 
temperatures for which the refrigerating appliance is designed.
• Do not store food which goes bad easily at low temperature, such as bananas, melons.•  Place the ice tray at the originally provided position by manufacturer in order to 
achieve optimal ice-freezing.
•  Your appliance is frost free, which means there is no need to manually defrost 
your appliance, as this will be carried out automatically.
•  Temperature rising during the defrost can comply with ISO requirement. But If you want 
to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen food while defrosting the 
appliance, please wrap the frozen food in several layers of paper such as newspaper.
•   Any increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting can shorten its storage life.
