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 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, by doing so the internal temperature increase, resulting in the compressor having to work harder to decrease the temperature, therefore consuming more energy.
• Cover or wrap the food， particularly if it has a strong flavor.
• Place the food properly so that air can circulate freely around it.

Hints for refrigeration

• Meat (All Types) should be wrapped in polythene food wrap and placed on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
• Cooked food or other cold dishes should be stored in a container and can be placed on any shelf.
• Fruit and vegetables should be stored in the crisper drawer for optimal freshness.
• Butter and cheese should be wrapped in airtight foil or plastic film wrap.
• Milk bottles should have a lid and be stored in one of the door shelves.

Hints for freezing

• When first starting up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the coldest 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 polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.To prevent a rise in temperature of already frozen food, do not allow fresh or unfrozen food to come into contact with it. Keep them separated in the freezer.
• Iced products that are consumed immediately after being removed from the freezer may cause frost burns to the skin. It is best to let them thaw for a few minutes before consuming.
• To keep track of storage time, it is recommended to label and date each frozen package. This helps to ensure that food is used before it reaches its expiration date and helps to prevent food waste.

Hints for the storage of frozen food

• To ensure the safety and quality of frozen food, it is important to make sure that it has been stored correctly by the food retailer.
• Once food has been defrosted, it will deteriorate rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Additionally, it is important not to exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
