We recommend that you follow the tips
below to save energy.
●
Try to avoid keeping the door open
for long periods in order to conserve
energy.
●
Ensure the appliance is away from
any sources of heat (Direct sunlight,
electric oven or cooker etc)
Don't set the temperature colder than
●
necessary.
●
Don't store warm food or evaporating
liquid in the appliance.

Place the appliance in a well
ventilated, humidity free, room. Please
refer to Installing your new appliance
chapter.
If the diagram shows the correct
●
combination for the drawers, crisper
and shelves, do not adjust the
combination as this is designed to be
the most energy efficient configuration.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
Do not place hot food directly into the
●
refrigerator or freezer, the internal
temperature will increase resulting in
the compressor having to work harder
and will consume more energy.
Do cover or wrap the food,
●
particularly if it has a strong flavor.
●
Place food properly so that air can
circulate freely around it.

Hints for freezing
When first starting-up or after a period
●
out of use, let the appliance run at
least 2 hours on the higher settings
before putting food in the
compartment.
●
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 aluminum foil or
●
polyethylene food wraps which are
airtight,
●
Do not allow fresh unfrozen food to
touch the food which is already frozen
to avoid temperature rise of the latter.
Iced products,if consumed
●
immediately after removal from the
freezer compartment, will probably
cause frost burns to the skin.
Cleaning and care
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

●
stored correctly by the food retailer
