Energy-saving measures
In order to reduce the power consumption of your appliance:
Install it in a suitable location (see "Installing your appliance").
•
Leave the doors open for the shortest time possible.
•
•
Never put hot food in the fridge or the freezer, and in particular soups and other
preparations that release a lot of steam.
•
Check that your appliance is working correctly and do not allow too much ice to accumulate
in the freezer (defrost when the ice is more than 5-6 mm thick). Clean the condenser on a
regular basis.
•
Regularly check the door seals and make sure that the doors can be closed properly. If
this is not the case, contact after-sales service.
•
Do not adjust the temperature too low.
Storing food
Here are some rules you should follow:
•
Maintain the cold chain and select "Booster" mode at least 6 hours before coming home
with groceries.
•
Clean the refrigerator part at least once a month (see "Care and cleaning)
Defrost the freezer and clean it at least once a year.
•
Keep homemade food in the refrigerator after first taking care to leave it to cool.
•
Make sure that your appliance is set to the recommended temperatures shown below. The
•
temperatures for every compartment are recommended to optimise storing food and avoid
any waste.
