CLEANING & CARE

20
Food storage
• The appliance should be in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts and out of direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in the appliance.
• Overloading the appliance forces the compressor to run longer, increasing energy
consumption.
• Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Be sure to wrap foods properly and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
appliance to cut down on frost build-up.
• Do not line the storage bins with aluminium foil, wax paper or paper towelling. Liners
interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as
many items as needed at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
