Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and never put it near a direct source of heat (radiator, for example). - Never block any vents or grilles on the appliance. - Allow warm food to cool down before placing it in the appliance. - Put frozen food in the refrigerator to thaw. You can then use the low temperatures of the frozen products to cool food in the refrigerator. - Do not keep the door of the appliance open for too long when putting food in or taking food out. The shorter time for which the door is open, the less ice will form in the freezer. - Clean the rear of the refrigerator regularly. Dust increases energy consumption. - Do not set temperature colder than necessary. - Ensure suffi cient air exhaust at the refrigerator base and at the back wall of the refrigerator. Do not cover air vent openings. - Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower. %3 JOEC4FD%3 JOEC4FD1.1.
