6. HINTS AND TIPS
6.1 Hints for energy saving
• Freezer: The internal configuration of the
appliance is the one that ensures the most
efficient use of energy.
• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is
ensured in the configuration with the
drawers in the bottom part of the
appliance and shelves evenly distributed.
Position of the door bins does not affect
energy consumption.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than necessary.
• Freezer: The colder the temperature
setting, the higher the energy
consumption.
• Fridge: Do not set too high 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 a good ventilation. Do not cover
the ventilation grilles or holes.
ENGLISH 13

6.2 Hints for freezing
• Activate Super Freeze function at least 24
hours before placing the food inside the
freezer compartment.
• Before freezing wrap and seal fresh food
in: aluminium foil, plastic film or bags,
airtight containers with lid.
• For more efficient freezing and thawing
divide food into small portions.
• It is recommended to put labels and dates
on all your frozen food. This will help to
identify foods and to know when they
should be used before their deterioration.
• The food should be fresh when being
frozen to preserve good quality. Especially
fruits and vegetables should be frozen
after the harvest to preserve all of their
nutrients.
• Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids,
in particular drinks containing carbon
dioxide - they may explode during
freezing.
• Do not put hot food in the freezer
compartment. Cool it down at room
temperature before placing it inside the
compartment.
• To avoid increase in temperature of
already frozen food, do not place fresh
unfrozen food directly next to it. Place food
at room temperature in the part of the
freezer compartment where there is no
frozen food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice
lollies immediately after taking them out of
the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
• Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food
has defrosted, cook it, cool it down and
then freeze it.
6.3 Hints for storage of frozen food
• Freezer compartment is the one marked
with .
• The medium temperature setting ensures
good preservation of frozen food products.
Higher temperature setting inside the
appliance may lead to shorter shelf life.
• The whole freezer compartment is suitable
for storage of frozen food products.
• Leave enough space around the food to
allow air to circulate freely.
• For adequate storage refer to food
packaging label to see the shelf life of
food.
• It is important to wrap the food in such a
way that prevents water, humidity or
condensation from getting inside.
6.4 Shopping tips
After grocery shopping:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged
- the food could be deteriorated. If the
package is swollen or wet, it might have
not been stored in the optimal conditions
and defrosting may have already started.
• To limit the defrosting process buy frozen
goods at the end of your grocery shopping
and transport them in a thermal and
insulated cool bag.
• Place the frozen foods immediately in the
freezer after coming back from the shop.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not
re-freeze it. Consume it as soon as
possible.
• Respect the expiry date and the storage
information on the package.

at room temperature before inserting it.
• To prevent food waste the new stock of
food should always be placed behind the
old one.
6.7 Hints for food refrigeration
• Fresh food compartment is the one
marked (on the rating plate) with .
• Meat (all types): wrap in a 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 the 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 aluminium 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.
