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 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
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
For Meat: (all types) wrap in cling 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 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
to make it possible to subsequently thaw
only the quantity required.
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or cling
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, (ice cubes, popsicles): 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.
Hints for the storage of frozen food
Ensure that frozen food has been stored
correctly by the food retailer
Once defrosted, food will deteriorate
rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Do not
exceed the storage period indicated by the
food manufacturer.

for an extended period, the following steps
should be taken prevent mold on the
