7.1 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.

• Make sure that food products inside the appliance allow air circulation through dedicated holes in the rear interior of the appliance.

7.2 Hints for freezing

• Activate Extra Freeze function at least 4 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 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.

7.3 Hints for storage of frozen food

• Freezer compartment is the one marked with .

• Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life.

• The whole freezer compartment is suitable for storage of frozen food products.

• Leave enough space around the food to allow air to circulate freely.

• For adequate storage refer to food packaging label to see the shelf life of food.

• It is important to wrap the food in such a way that prevents water, humidity or condensation from getting inside.

After grocery shopping: ENGLISH 103• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged - the food could be deteriorated. If the package is swollen or wet, it might have not been stored in the optimal conditions and defrosting may have already started.

• To limit the defrosting process buy frozen goods at the end of your grocery shopping and transport them in a thermal and insulated cool bag.

• Place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer after coming back from the shop.

• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume it as soon as possible.

• Respect the expiry date and the storage information on the package.

7.5 Shelf life for freezer compartment

Seafood: Fatty fish (e.g. salmon, mackerel) Lean fish (e.g. cod, flounder) Shrimps Shucked clams and mussels Cooked fish

Meat: Poultry Beef Pork Lamb Sausage Ham Leftovers with meat

7.6 Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of fresh food is a temperature less than or equal to +4°C. Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of food.

• Cover the food with packaging to preserve its freshness and aroma.

• Always use closed containers for liquids and for food, to avoid flavours or odours in the compartment.

• To avoid the cross-contamination between cooked and raw food, cover the cooked food and separate it from the raw one.

• It is recommended to defrost the food inside the fridge.

• Do not insert hot food inside the appliance. Make sure it has cooled down at room temperature before inserting it.

• To prevent food waste the new stock of food should always be placed behind the old one. 104 ENGLISH7.7 Hints for food refrigeration
