Helpful hints and tips

Noises during operation

Clicks- Whenever the compressor switches on or off, a click can be heard.

Humming- As soon as the compressor is in operation, you can hear it humming.

Bubbling- When refrigerant flows into thin tubes, you can hear bubbling or splashing noises.

Splashing- Even after the compressor has been switched off, this noise can be heard for a short time.

Energy saving tips

• Do not install the appliance near stoves, radiators or other sources of warmth.
• Keep the time the appliance is open to a minimum.
• Do not set the temperature colder than necessary.
  ● Make sure the side plates and back plate of the appliance are at some distance from the wall, and follow the instructions relevant to installation.
• If the diagram shows the correct combination for the drawers, crisper and shelves, do not adjust the combination as it would produce an effect on energy consumption.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

- Do not store warm foods or evaporating liquids in the appliance.

• Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavor or odor.
  Position food so that air can circulate freely around it.

Hints for refrigeration

● Meat (all types): wrap in polyethylene (plastic) bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer. For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
● Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc...: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.
- Butter and cheese: these should be placed in aluminum foil or polyethylene (plastic) bags while removing as much air as possible.
- Milk bottles: these should have a cap and should be stored in the bottle rack on the door.

Hints for freezing

- When first starting-up or after a period out of use. Before putting the food in the compartment, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings.

● Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
- Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene (plastic) and make sure that the packages are airtight.
- Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food that is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in the temperature of the latter.
- Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause skin to become freezer burnt.
- It is recommended to label and date each frozen package in order to keep track of the storage time.

IMPORTANT!— If large quantities of food are to be stored in the freezer, all the freezer drawers (except the freezer lower drawer) can be taken out of the appliance and the food stacked directly on the freezer shelves or in the freezer.

Hints for the storage of frozen food

● Make sure that commercially frozen food was stored by the retailer.
- Once defrosted, foods deteriorate rapidly and can not be re-frozen.
- Do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

Note: If the appliance contains related accessories and functions.
