Note:
please store different foods according to the compartments or
target storage temperature of your purchased products.
Important!
Normally we advise that you select a setting of 2 or 3 or 4,
if you want the temperature higher or lower please turn the knob to a
higher or lower setting accordingly. When you turn the knob to a lower
temperature it can consume more energy, while a higher temperature
can be more energy-saving and therefore increase the energy efficiency.
Note:
High temperature setting will accelerate food waste.
• For optimum food preservation, a medium setting is generally the
most suitable.
Important!
High ambient temperatures (e.g. on hot summer days)
and a cold setting (position 6 to 7) may cause the compressor to run
continuously or even non-stop!
Reason:
when the ambient temperature is high, the compressor must
run continuously to maintain the low temperature in the appliance.
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, dry room. Please refer to
the “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 flavour.
• Place food so that air can circulate freely around it.
Tips for refrigeration
• Meat (all types): wrap in clingfilm 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 crisper box.
• Butter and cheese: should be placed in aluminium foil or
polyethylene(plastic) bags while removing as much air as possible.
• Milk bottles: should have a lid and be stored in the door shelf.
Tips 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 aluminium 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.
