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.
• Make sure that the appliance is away from any sources of heat. (Direct sunlight, electric oven
or cooker, etc.)
• Do not set the temperature colder than necessary.
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquid in the appliance.
• Place the appliance in a well-ventilated, humidity-free room. Please refer to the chapter on
installing your new appliance.
• 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 this will consume more energy.
• Cover or wrap food, particularly if it has a strong flavour.
• Position food properly so that air can circulate freely around it.
Hints for refrigeration
• Wrap meat (all types) in polythene: 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.: These should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables: These 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 the appliance or after an idle period, allow it to run for at least 2 hours
on the higher settings before putting food into the compartment.
• Prepare food in small portions so that it can quickly be completely frozen and only the quantity
required can subsequently be thawed when needed.
• Wrap food in aluminium foil or airtight polyethylene food wraps.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen to prevent frozen food
from being partially thawed.
