Hints and Tips Saving energy · Pay careful attention to where the cabinet is placed. See the section "Installation". When installed correctly, the cabinet will consume less energy. Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods, or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly. This will ensure safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of the refrigeration unit It is advisable to periodically clean the refrigeration system at the back of the appliance with a duster or vacuum cleaner. Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the fridge. Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge before being transfered to the freezer. Lift it over the locks in back on the sliding guides. Clean whit soft detergent, and rinse whit lukewarm water. Clean out the drip channel inside the fridge at regular intervals and ensure that the drip channel is clear at all times. If blocked carefully clear using a piece of flexible curtain wire inserted into the drain outlet to remove the blockage. Wash the outer cabinet with warm soapy water. Remove the ventilation grille (see the section "Removing the ventilation grille") and vacuum-clean under the cabinet. Once or twice a year dust the condenser (black grille) and the compressor at the back of the appliance, with a brush or vacuum cleaner, as an accumulation of dust will affect the performance of the appliance and cause excessive electricity consumption. When moving the cabinet, lift it by the front edge to avoid scratching the floor. 2 1 Defrosting the fridge The fridge is defrosted automatically every time the compressor stops.
