The following suggestions will minimize the cost of operating your refrigeration appliance. 1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance (cooker, dishwasher, etc.), heating air duct, or other heat sources. 2. Install product out of direct sunlight. 3. Ensure the front grille vents at front of appliance be- neath door are not obstructed and kept clean to allow ventilation for the refrigeration system to expel heat. 4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not shared with other appliances). 5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever large quantities of warm contents are placed within refrigerated storage compartment, minimize door openings for the next 12 hours to allow contents to pull down to compartment set temperature. 6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will require less appliance run time than an empty compartment. 7. Ensure door closing is not obstructed by contents stored in your appliance. 8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before placing in product. 9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings. 10. Use the warmest temperature control set temperature that meets your personal preference and provides the proper storage for your stored contents. 11. When on vacation or away from home for extended periods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable temperature for the stored contents. 12. Set the control to the "off" position if cleaning the appliance requires the door to be open for an extended period of time. 13. For wine storage products: When serving temperatures are not required, return the compartment(s) set temperature to the ideal red and white wine long term storage temperature of 13°C / 55°F. Light assembly replacement All models use an LED to illuminate the interior of the appliance. This component is very reliable, but should it fail, contact a qualified service technician for replacement of the LED. 11
