HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
4.1
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the Temperature Regulator is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully
loaded, the compressor may run con-
tinuously, causing frost or ice on the
evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warmer
settings to allow automatic defrosting
and so a saving in electricity consump-
tion.
4.2
Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating
liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if
it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate
freely around it
4.3
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or
two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these
should be covered and may be placed on
any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the spe-
cial drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be
placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if
not packed, must not be kept in the re-
frigerator.
4.4
Hints for temperature inside
the fridge
• A suitable temperature inside the fridge
is approx. +4° C. When the tempera-
ture regulator is set to +4° C this repre-
sents the mean temperature in the
fridge. It is normal with higher tempera-
ture in the top of the fridge. If the tem-
perature regulator is set to a cold tem-
perature, the ambient temperature is
high or if the fridge is fully loaded the
compressor will run for a longer time. If
too cold, change to a higher tempera-
ture setting.
Do not place food against or close
to the temperature sensor (A).
This can result in too cold temper-
atures.
A
• If you want to check the temperature of
food stored in the refrigerator, place a
glass of water centrally in the cabinet,
and put a proper thermometer with an
accuracy of +/– 1 °C into it. After 6
hours the temperature can be moni-
tored. The measuring shall be per-
formed under steady-stated conditions
(without changing the load).
