Hints & Tips
Food Storage
To obtain the best results from your appliance
neither hot foods nor liquids which may evaporate,
should be placed in the refri erator.
Keep the time between buyin chilled food and
placin it in your frid e as short as possible.
Do not push food to ether too much, try to allow air
to circulate around each item.
Do not store food uncovered.
Remove suspect food from your refri erator and
clean, refer to Cleanin and Maintenance.
Frozen food storage
Storin ready-frozen foods is quite strai htforward.
The packs can be placed beside each other or on top
of each other.
You are stron ly advised to place ready-frozen food in
the compartment as quickly as possible after
purchase and we therefore recommend that you buy
them last. Also ensure that the external packa in is
intact.
Packa in which is swollen or has traces of
refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate
that the product has not been kept at a suitable
temperature and that it may have lost its ori inal
quality.
Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must
be consumed within 24 hours.
Never exceed the stora e times indicated.
Do not open the ice-makin compartment door too
often and do not leave open lon er than necessary.
Important
In the event of a power cut the food in the ice-
makin compartment will not be affected if the
power cut is short and if the compartment is full. Do
not open the door. Should the food be in to thaw,
it must be consumed quickly and must not be
refrozen.
Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the cabinet close to sources of
heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated
room and make sure that the air openin s of the
cabinet are not obstructed.
Always leave warm food to cool down to room
temperature before placin in the frid e.
Try to avoid keepin the door open for lon
periods, or openin the door too frequently as
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventin the
door from closin properly.
It is advisable to periodically clean the
refri eration system at the back of the appliance
with a duster or vacuum cleaner.
