Energy-saving tips
We recommend that you follow the tips below to save
energy.
•
Leave the door open for as short a time as possible, to
save energy.
•
Make sure the appliance is positioned well away from
heat sources (direct sunlight, an electric oven or hob,
etc.)
•
Do not set the temperature lower than necessary.
•
Do not put hot food or liquids in the appliance. Let them
cool down first.
•
Install the appliance in a well-ventilated area. See the
chapter on Installing your new appliance.
Tips for freezing
•
After you first turn on the appliance, or if it has been
turned off for a while, let it run for at least 2 hours at a
low temperature setting before placing food in it.
•
Prepare food in small portions so that it will freeze
quickly and thoroughly, and so that you can take out
just the amount you need to thaw.
•
Wrap food in aluminium foil or plastic film.
•
Do not let fresh unfrozen food touch food that is already
frozen. Otherwise the frozen food may thaw partially.
•
If you eat frozen products straight from the freezer they
may cause frostbite.
•
Mark all frozen food items with the date, so that you can
keep track of the storage time.
•
Frozen food spoils quickly once it has thawed it,
so it must not be frozen again. Do not keep frozen
food longer than the period specified by the food
manufacturer
Turning off the appliance
If you need to turn off the appliance for an extended period,
do as follows to prevent the growth of mould.
•
Remove all food.
•
Unplug the appliance from the power socket.
•
Clean and dry the interior thoroughly.
•
Make sure all doors are left slightly open so that air can
circulate.
