Energy saving tips
To guarantee adequate ventilation follow installation instructions.
Insufficient ventilation on back of the product increases energy consumption
and decreases coaling efficiency.
Frequent door opening might cause an increase in Energy consumption.
The internal temperature of the appliance and the Energy Consumption may be
affected also by the ambient temperature, as well as location of the
appliance.
Temperature setting should take into consideration these factors.
Reduce to a minimum door opening.
When thawing frozen food, place them in the refrigerator.
The low temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the refrigerator.
Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the efficient
usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves In such way to ensure
proper air circulation (food should not touch each other and distance between
food and rear wall should be kept).
You can increase storage capacity of frozen food by removing baskets and, if
present, Stop Frost shelve, maintaining an equivalent energy consumption.
Do not worry of the noise coming from the compressor.

Helpful hints and tips
Hints for energy saving
- Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
- Do not set temperature any colder than necessary.
- Ensure sufficient air circulation and exhaust at the appliance base and at the back wall of the appliance. Never cover air vent openings.
- Do not place warm foods into the appliance. Allow warm foods to cool first.
Hints for freezing
To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some hints:
- The maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating plate.
- The freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period.
- Freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned foodstuffs
- Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required.
- Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight.
- Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter.
- Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food.
- Water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt.
- It is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.
Hints for storage of frozen food
To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:
- Make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer.
- Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the food store to the freezer in the shortest possible time.
- Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.
- Once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen.
- Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
Defrosting the freezer
The freezer compartment is frost free. This means that there is no build up of
frost when it is in operation, neither on the internal walls nor on the food.
The absence of frost is due to the continuous circulation of cold air inside
the compartment, driven by an automatically controlled fan.
If the appliance is not going to be used
Disconnect the appliance from the power supply, remove all the food and clean.
Leave the doors open enough for air to circulate inside the compartments. This
will prevent the formation of mould and bad odours.
In case of power failures
Keep the doors of the appliance closed. In this way the stored food will stay
cold as long as possible. Do not refreeze partially thawed food, consume it
within 24 hours.
