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 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.

Tips 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 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.

Tips for Refrigeration
For Meat: (all types) wrap in cling wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Aways rollow Tood storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers.

Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.:
These should be covered and 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 doorbins.

Tips for Freezing
When first starting-up or after a period of no 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 fime.

Hints for the Storage of Frozen Food
