## Notes for Operation

- Before placing food in the appliance, clean the inside and outside of the appliance with warm water and a mild washing-up liquid to remove manufacturing residues.

- Users should keep in mind that frost can form if the door is not closed completely or if the humidity is high during the summer.

- Ensure there is sufficient space between food stored on the shelf or door basket to allow the door to close completely.

- Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in the compartments of the appliance.

- If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.

- Note that a temperature rise after defrosting has a permissible range in the appliance specifications. If you wish to minimise the impact on the food storage due to a temperature rise, seal or wrap the stored food in several layers.
