Hints for fresh food refrigeration

·Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or 

freezer, the internal temperature will increase result-

ing in the compressor having to work harder and will 

consume more energy.

·Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a 

strong flavor.

·Place food properly so that air can circulate freely 

around it.

the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher set-

tings before putting food in the compartment.

·Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rap-

idly and complete frozen and to make it possible to 

subsequently thaw only the quantity required.

Interior cleaning

You should clean the appliance interior regularly. It 

will be easier to clean when food stocks are low. Wipe 

the inside of the fridge freezer with a weak solution of 

bicarbonate of soda, and then rinse with warm water 

using a wrung-out sponge or cloth.

freezer. Only after the interior completely dry should 

the appliance be switched back on and plugged back 

into the mains socket.
