HINTS AND TIPS

Hints for energy-saving

The most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly distributed.
The position of the door bins does not affect energy consumption.
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
It is recommended to defrost the food inside the fridge.
Do not insert hot food inside the appliance. Make sure it has cooled down to room temperature before inserting it.
To prevent food waste the new stock of food should always be placed behind the old one.
Do not set too high a temperature to save energy unless it is required by the characteristics of the food.
If the ambient temperature is high and the temperature control is set to low temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice formation on the evaporator.
In this case, set the temperature control toward higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting and to save energy this way.
Ensure good ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation grilles or holes.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

The medium temperature setting ensures good preservation of fresh food.
Higher temperature settings inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of food.
Cover the food with packaging to preserve its freshness and aroma.
Always use closed containers for liquids and for food, to avoid flavors or odors in the compartment.
To avoid cross-contamination between cooked and raw food, cover the cooked food and separate it from the raw one.

Hints for food refrigeration

The fresh food compartment is the one marked (on the rating plate) with
Meat (all types): wrap in suitable packaging and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly (eliminate the soil) and place in a special drawer (vegetable drawer).
It is advisable not to keep exotic fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas, etc. in the refrigerator.
Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and garlic should not be kept in the refrigerator.
Butter and cheese: place in an airtight container or wrap in an aluminum foil or a polythene bag to exclude as much air as possible.
Bottles: close them with a cap and place them on the door bottle shelf, or (if available) on the bottle rack.
Always refer to the expiry date of the products to know how long to keep them.

CARE AND CLEANING
