13. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Energy saving tips
We recommend that you follow the tips
below to save energy.
• Freezer: The internal configuration of
the appliance is the one that ensures
the most efficient use of energy.
• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy
is ensured in the configuration with
the drawers in the bottom part of
the appliance and shelves evenly
distributed. Position of the door bins
does not affect energy consumption.
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than necessary.
• Freezer: The colder the temperature
setting, the higher the energy
consumption.
• Fridge: Do not set too high temperature
to save energy unless it is required by
the characteristics of the food.
• If the ambient temperature is high
and the temperature control is set to
low temperature and the appliance
is fully loaded, the compressor may
run continuously, causing frost or ice
formation on the evaporator. In this
case, set the temperature control
toward higher temperature to allow
automatic defrosting and to save
energy this way.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not
cover the ventilation grilles or holes.
Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
• Good temperature setting that
ensures preservation of fresh food is a
temperature less than or equal to +4°C.
• Higher temperature setting inside the
appliance may lead to shorter shelf
life of food.
• Cover the food with packaging to
preserve its freshness and aroma.
• Always use closed containers for
liquids and for food, to avoid flavours
or odours in the compartment.
• To avoid the cross-contamination
between cooked and raw food, cover
the cooked food and separate it from
the raw one.
• It is recommended to defrost the food
inside the fridge.
• Do not insert hot food inside the
appliance. Make sure it has cooled
down at room temperature before
inserting it.
• To prevent food waste the new stock
of food should always be placed
behind the old one.
Hints for refrigeration
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable
packaging and place it on the glass
shelf above the vegetable drawer.
Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly
(eliminate the soil) and place in a
special drawer (vegetable drawer).
• It is advisable not to keep the exotic
fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas
etc. in the refrigerator.
• Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes,
onions, and garlic should not be kept
in the refrigerator.
• Butter and cheese: place in an airtight
container or wrap in an aluminium
foil or a polythene bag to exclude
as much air as possible.
• Bottles: close them with a cap and
place them on the door bottle shelf,
or (if available) on the bottle rack.
• Always refer to the expiry date of the
products to know how long to keep
them.
Hints for freezing
• Activate FastFreeze function at least
24 hours before placing the food
inside the freezer compartment.
• Before freezing wrap and seal fresh
food in: aluminium foil, plastic film or
bags, airtight containers with lid.
• For more efficient freezing and
thawing divide food into small
portions.
• It is recommended to put labels and
dates on all your frozen food. This
will help to identify foods and to know
when they should be used before their
deterioration.
