Energy Saving Advice; Freezer Storage Advice - Russell Hobbs RH55FZ142 Instruction Manual

Energy Saving Advice

• Do not install the appliance 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
vents are clear.
• Try to avoid keeping the doors open for a long time, warm air will enter the
cabinet and may cause a build-up of ice as well as affecting the energy
consumption. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the doors from
closing properly.
• Ensure that the door seals are clean and there are no tears or splits.
• Do not overload the appliance: the cooling air that circulates to keep the
appliance cold gets blocked and pockets of warm air form.
• Do not put hot food into the fridge or freezer – let it cool down first.

Freezer Storage Advice

• Store fresh food in airtight boxes or wrap in bags or foil which are suitable for
freezing.
• Do not allow frozen food into direct contact with food to be frozen.
• Pre-frozen food must be placed in the freezer as quickly as possible after
purchasing.
• To prevent frost damage to fresh vegetables or fruits they must be processed
appropriately before being placed into the freezer compartment.
