Hints for fresh food refrigeration
·
Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or
freezer, the internal temperature will increase resulting
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.

Hints for freezing
·
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let
the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher
settings before putting food in the compartment.
·
Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly
and complete frozen and to make it possible to
subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
·
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or polyethylene
food wraps which are airtight.
·
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food
which is already frozen to avoid temperature rise of the
latter.
·
