HINTS AND TIPS

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.
HINTS FOR FREEZING
• Activate FastFreeze function at least
3 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
CAUTION!
In case of power failure ice cubes
may melt and flow down to the
floor. If you expect such situation
to last for long hours, pull out the
case and remove the ice cubes
from it, then replace it back.
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.
HINTS FOR STORAGE
OF FROZEN FOOD
• Good temperature setting that
ensures preservation of frozen food
products is a temperature less than
or equal to -18°C.
Higher temperature setting inside
the appliance may lead to shorter
shelf life.
