Troubleshooting - Hotpoint Ariston 4D TVZ Series Operating Instructions Manual

• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator. The internal
GB
temperature will increase and force the compressor to work
harder and will consume more energy.
• Defrost the appliance if ice forms ( see Maintenance ). A thick
layer of ice makes cold transference to food products more
difficult and results in increased energy consumption.
• Regularly check the door seals and wipe clean to ensure they
are free of debris and to prevent cold air from escaping ( see
Maintenance ).
• Thanks to its independent freezer door and drawer opening
system, this product offers a 50% energy saving in comparison
with a normal 2-door combined refrigerator/freezer unit.
