6 Set the door right position,fix the top-hinge and then the roof cover. Ensure the Appliance is unplugged and empty. Adjust the two leveling feet to their highest position. We recommend you have someone to assist you. NOTE! To take the door off it is necessary to tilt the Appliance backward. You should rest the Appliance on something solid e.g.a chair just below the top panel.
Energy Saving Tips • The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight. • Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality, or spoil. • Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance. • Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient. • Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
