• If the gasket is damaged or does not provide a perfect seal for any reason,
have it replaced as soon as possible.

• Before placing the food in the refrigerator, allow it to cool down to room
temperature.

of the drawers as described in the instruction manual.
• Defrost your conventional freezer when an approximately 3–5 millimetre layer
of frost or ice has built up on the refrigerated surfaces.
• Make sure the layout of shelves in the compartment is uniform and that
the food is placed so that the air can freely circulate in the appliance
