Helpful hints and 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,
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 it.
Hints for refrigerator
Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene food: wrap and place on the
glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. Always follow food

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 to be rapidly
and complete 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.
·Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is
already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the latter.
·Iced products, 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.
Hints for the storage of frozen food
·Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food
retailer
·Once defrosted, food will deteriorate rapidly and should not
