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
all 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 refrigerating fresh food
•
Do not put warm or hot food straight into the
refrigerator. This raises the temperature in the cabinet,
so the compressor has to work harder and the
appliance uses more energy.
•
Cover food or wrap it up, especially food that has a
strong odour.
•
Arrange food so that the air can circulate freely around
it.
Tips for refrigeration
• Meat:
Wrap in plastic film and place on the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer. Follow guidelines for
the maximum storage period for food, and observe
manufacturers’ best-before dates.
• Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.:
Cover and place on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables:
These should be kept in the drawer provided for this
purpose.
• Cheese:
Seal in an airtight bag or wrap in plastic film.
• Milk
Seal with a cap and place in the door shelves.
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.
