6 Tips and tricks Tips and tricks General information on using the appliance ▪ When closing an appliance door make sure that it forms a proper seal all the way round. The self-closing hinges help keep it closed: as the appliance doors close auto- matically if the opening angle is between 20–30°.
▪ Produce can generally be stored for longer at low temperature settings. A temperature of 5 °C in the refrigerator compartment and -18 °C in the freezer compartment provide a balanced setting in terms of food quality and energy consumption – ideal if storing a large variety of products.
Moisture can cause the rear wall of the refrigerator to ice up more quickly and reduce its cooling capacity. ▪ For ideal air circulation: Do not store food and food items too close to each other. Care and maintenance Cleaning For the hygienic storage of foodstuffs, the interior should always be kept clean.

There- fore, the freezer compartment should be defrosted if a lot of ice has formed. When de- frosting, keep frozen food as cold and insulated as possible, e.g.
