7. USEFUL HINTS AND TIPS

Energy saving tips
We suggest you follow the following tips to save energy.
• Try not to leave the door open for long periods of time.
• Make sure that the appliance is away from heat sources (direct sunlight, electric oven, or
hob, etc.)
• Do not set the temperature lower than necessary.
• Do not place hot food or liquids in the appliance.
• Place the appliance in a room with good ventilation and free of moisture. Refer to the
chapter Installation of your new appliance for further advice.
• If the diagram shows the correct combination of drawers, fruit bowl and shelves, do not
change the combination as this is the most energy efficient configuration.
Tips for fresh food refrigeration
• Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer as this will increase the internal
temperature causing the compressor to run more vigorously thus consuming more energy.
• Cover or wrap food, especially if it has a strong smell.
• Position food correctly so that air can circulate freely around it.
Tips for refrigeration
• Meat (all types) Wrap it in food film and place it on the glass shelf above the vegetable
drawer. Always observe the food storage times and expiration dates recommended by the
manufacturers.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: They should be covered so that they can be placed on any
shelf.
• Fruits and vegetables: Should be kept in the special drawer provided.
• Butter and cheeses: Should be wrapped in foil or airtight film.
• Milk bottles: Should have a lid and be kept on door shelves.
Tips for freezer
• On first start-up or after a period of non-use, before placing food in the chamber, allow the
appliance to run for at least 2 hours on the highest setting.
• Divide food into small portions so that it can be quickly and completely frozen and so that
you can defrost only the amount you need.
• Wrap food in foil or plastic wrap and make sure the packages are airtight.
• Fresh, unfrozen food should not touch the already frozen food to prevent the temperature
of the already frozen food from rising.
• Frozen products, if eaten immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, may
cause ice burns to the skin.
• It is recommended that you note the contents and date of each frozen package so that you
can keep track of the storage time
Tips for storing frozen food
• Ensure that commercial frozen products have been properly stored by the retailer.
• Once thawed, food spoils quickly and cannot be refrozen.
• Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.
