ENERGY SAVING TIPS
• Do not install the appliance near stoves,
radiators or other sources of warmth.
• Keep the time the appliance is open to a
minimum.
• Do not set the temperature colder than
necessary.
• Make sure the side plates and back plate
of the appliance are at some distance
from the wall, and follow the instructions
relevant to installation.
• If the diagram shows the correct
combination for the drawers, crisper and
shelves, do not adjust the combination
as it would produce an effect on energy
consumption.
HINTS FOR FRESH FOOD
REFRIGERATION
• Do not store warm foods or evaporating
liquids in the appliance.
• Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it
has a strong flavor or odor.
• Position food so that air can circulate
freely around it.
HINTS FOR REFRIGERATION
• Meat (all types): wrap in polyethylene
(plastic) bags and place on the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer. For safety,
store in this way only one or two days at
the most.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc...: these
should be covered and may be placed on
any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer provided.
• Butter and cheese: these should be
placed in aluminium foil or polyethylene
(plastic) bags while removing as much air
as possible.
• Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
HINTS FOR FREEZING
• When first starting-up or after a period
out of use. Before putting the food in the
compartment, let the appliance run at
least 2 hours on the higher settings.
• Prepare food in small portions to enable
it to be rapidly and completely frozen and
to make it possible to subsequently thaw
only the quantity required.
• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or
polyethylene (plastic) and make sure that
the packages are airtight..
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch
food that is already frozen, thus avoiding
a rise in the temperature of the latter.
• Iced products, if consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer
compartment, can possibly cause skin to
become freezer burnt.
• It is recommended to label and date each
frozen package in order to keep track of
the storage time.
HINTS FOR THE STORAGE OF FROZEN
FOOD
• Make sure that commercially frozen food
was stored by the retailer.
• Once defrosted, foods deteriorate rapidly
and can not be re-frozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period
indicated by the food manufacturer.
Note: If the appliance contains related
accessories and functions.
