3.11 Food storage advice

Practical energy saving advice

• Correct use of the appliance, correct 

packaging of foodstuffs, a constant 
temperature and food hygiene have 
significant effects on the quality of 
storage.

• Reduce the number of times that the 

doors are opened and the length of time 
they remain open to prevent the 
compartments from heating up 
excessively.

• Clean the condenser (rear of the 

appliance) periodically to prevent the 
appliance from losing efficiency.

• Defrost frozen food in the refrigerator 

compartment in order to make use of the 
cold stored in the frozen foods.

General advice

• Always check the expiry date on the 

food packaging.

• The foodstuffs must be stored in closed or 

pre-packaged containers and must not 
be able to emit or absorb moisture and 
odours.

appliance if you are going away for a 
long period.
