VII. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Noises during operation
Everytime the compressor starts or stops, a clinker can be heard.
During compressor operation, you may hear a slight buzz.
When the refrigerant flows through the pipes, it is possible to hear noises that give the
feeling of flowing or spraying liquids. Even after shutting down the compressor, these
noises can be heard for a short time.
These noises are caused by the operation of the appliance and are in accordance with
the operating principle.
Energy saving tips
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, 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.
•
It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track
of the storage time.
