HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Energy saving tips
We recommend that you follow the tips below to save energy.
• Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods.
• 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 liguid in the appliance.
• Place the appliance in a well ventilated, humidity free room. Please refer to
Instaling your new appliance chapter
• If the diagram shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and
shelves, do not adjust the combination as this designed to be the most energy
efficient configuration.
Hints for 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.
• 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.
• It is recomended to label and date each froozen package in order to keep
track of the storage times.
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.
• It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep
track of the storage time.
