The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the appliance 1 = less cold 5 = colder It is recommended that a medium setting be used. To increase the amount of space, optimize arrangement and improve appearance, this appliance has a "cooling area" located within the back panel of the refrigerator compartment. When the appliance is operating, this panel may be covered with frost or droplets of water depending on whether the compressor is operating or not at a given time. If the thermostat knob is positioned on higher settings while the refrigerator is heavily filled and the ambient temperature high, the appliance may run continuously, resulting in the formation of frost on the back cooling area. To avoid this situation, just turn the thermostat knob to a lower setting so that the appliance defrosts automatically.

" THE ACTUAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF THE APPLIANCE DEPENDS ON THE WAY THE SAME IS USED AND ON ITS LOCATION. The consumption tests were performed in 560mm deep column units, the most common installation setting for this appliance. - Use the Right Temperature Setting A setting which is too cold increases energy consumption. - Do not Overfill To conserve food properly, the cold air must circulate freely within the refrigerator. If it is overfilled, this will prevent proper air circulation, forcing the compressor to work continuously. - Close the Doors Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the temperature to the proper level again, the motor must work for a long time, consuming energy. - Keep an Eye on the Seals Keep the seals clean and make sure that they adhere well to the door. - No Hot Foods A hot pot or pan placed in the refrigerator immediately raises the temperature several degrees. Let hot cookware and food cool to ambient temperature before placing them in the refrigerator.
