How to disconnect the refrigerator
Pull the plug out. Remove the ice trays and food.
Leave the door slightly open for air to circulate and to dehumidify both
sections.
Whenever you disconnect the refrigerator, wait at least 10 minutes before
turning it on again.
If you intend to disconnect the refrigerator for a long period of time, you
should unplug it and then clean it thoroughly. Be sure to leave the door
slightly open and leave it in a well ventilated place to avoid unpleasant odors.
How to save energy
01. The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as necessary; do
not place hot food inside the refrigerator.
02. The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid increased energy
consumption, and the formation of excess ice and/or condensation inside.
03. Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature homogenous inside
the refrigerator. For this reason, it is important to properly distribute the
food, to facilitate the flow of air.
04. Do not hang clothing, cloths or objects on the condenser, located behind
the refrigerator. This will affect its functioning, causing strain on the
compressor (motor) and increase energy consumption.
05. During prolonged absences (example: vacations) it is advisable to
disconnect the refrigerator, remove all the food, and clean it. The door
should be left slightly open to avoid mold and unpleasant odors. This will
not affect the refrigerator when it is reconnected.
06. During short absences (ex.: holidays), the refrigerator can remain on.
However, remember that prolonged power outages may occur while you
are gone.
Transportation
To move the refrigerator, do not lean it to the right side of the person facing it.
For short distances, lean it back or to one of its sides, to a 30° angle at most.
For long distances, such as when moving, keep it in an upright position.
