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.)
Dont set the temperature colder than necessary.
Dont 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, 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 flavor.
Place food properly so that air can circulate freely around if.
Hints for refrigeration
For Meat: (all types) wrap in cling wrap and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow food storage times and use by dates suggested by manufacturers.

Hints 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 fo 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 time.
