Helpful hints and tips
Energy saving tips
We recommend that you follow the
tips 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 the installing your new
appliance chapter.
The description of appliance
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 refrigeration
Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene
food: wrap and place on the glass
shelf above the vegetable drawer.
Always follow food storage times and
use by dates suggested by
manufacturers.
Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.:
They should be covered and may be
placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables:
They should be stored in the special
drawer provided.
Butter and cheese:
Should be wrapped in airtight foil or
plastic film wrap.
Milk bottles:
Should have a lid and be stored in the
door racks.
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 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 patrial defrosting.
