Do not over-fill the appliance
to allow air to circulate.
Defrost the freezer
compartment when a layer of
ice 0.5 cm thick has built up.
Increased energy
consumption
Frequent opening of the door
for long periods will cause a
loss of coldness. The
appliance works harder to
cool down and the
compressor runs for longer
periods.
Hot food or food at room
temperature raises the
temperature inside the
appliance. The appliance
works harder to cool down
and the compressor runs for
longer periods.
The evaporation or
condensation of liquids will
cause a loss of coldness in the
refrigerator.
A layer of ice hinders the cold
from reaching the frozen food.
