ENERGY SAVING TIPS

Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room far away from any heat source (e.g. radiator, cooker, etc.) and in a place not exposed directly to the sun. If required, use an insulating plate. To guarantee adequate ventilation follow installation instructions. Insufficient ventilation on back of the product increases energy consumption and decreases cooling efficiency.

The internal temperatures of the appliance may be affected by the ambient temperature, frequency of door opening, as well as location of the appliance. Temperature setting should take into consideration these factors. Reduce to a minimum door opening.

When thawing frozen food, place them in the refrigerator. The low temperature of the frozen products cools the food in the refrigerator.

Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.

Positioning of the shelves in the refrigerator has no impact on the efficient usage of energy. Food should be placed on the shelves in such way to ensure proper air circulation (food should not touch each other and distance between food and rear wall should be kept).

You can increase storage capacity of frozen food by removing baskets and, if present, Stop Frost shelve, maintaining an equivalent energy consumption.

High energy class products are fitted with high efficiency motors that remain operational for longer, but have a low power consumption. Do not worry if the engine continues to run for longer periods.

FOOD-STORAGE TIPS

FRIDGE COMPARTMENT

The refrigerator is the ideal storage location for ready meals, fresh and preserved food, dairy products, fruit and vegetables and beverage.

HOW TO STORE FRESH FOOD AND BEVERAGE

Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass containers and cling film to wrap foods.

Always use closed containers for liquids and for food that may give off or be tainted by odor or flavor transfer or cover them.

Foods which give off a large amount ethylene gas and those that are sensitive to this gas, such as fruit, vegetables and salad, should always be separated or wrapped so as not to reduce the storage life; for example do not store tomatoes together with kiwi fruits or cabbage.

Do not store food too close together to enable sufficient air circulation.

To avoid bottles falling over, you can use the bottle holder.

If you have a little quantity of food to store in the refrigerator, we recommend to use the shelves above the crisper for fruits and vegetables since this is the coolest area of the compartment.

WHERE TO STORE FRESH FOOD AND BEVERAGE

On the fridge shelves: ready meals, tropical fruits, cheeses, deli.

In the coldest area (the one above the fruits and vegetables crisper): meat, fish, cold cuts, cakes.

In the fruits and vegetables crisper: fruits, salad, vegetables.

In the door: butter, jams, sauces, pickles, cans, bottles, beverage cartons, eggs.

FREEZER COMPARTMENT

The freezer is the ideal storage location for store frozen food, make ice cubes and freeze fresh food in the freezer compartment.

The maximum number of kilograms of fresh food that can be frozen within a 24-hour period is indicated on the rating plate (…kg/24h). If you have a little quantity of food to store in the freezer, we recommend to use the middle area.

TIPS FOR FREEZING AND STORING FRESH FOOD

We recommend to label and date all your frozen food. Adding a label will help you to identify foods and to know when they should be used before their quality deteriorates.Do not re-freeze defrosted food.

Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food.

Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in order to obtain high quality frozen food.

Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be

frozen as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original nutritional value, consistency, colour and flavor. Some meat, especially game, should be hung before it is frozen.

Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the freezer.

Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has thawed. Once cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen.

Do not freeze bottles with liquid.

Please use fast cooling function to speed up cooling of freezing process (see Daily Reference Guide).

FROZEN FOOD: SHOPPING TIPS

When purchasing frozen food products:

Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may have already begun.

When shopping, buy frozen foods at the end of your trip and transport them in a thermally insulated cool bag.

Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer.

If food has defrosted even partially, do not refreeze it. Consume within 24 hours.

Avoid or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect the best-before date on the package.

Always observe the storage information on the package.
