HINTS AND TIPS

HINTS FOR ENERGY SAVING
• Freezer: The internal configuration of the

appliance is the one that ensures the most

efficient use of energy.

• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is ensured

in the configuration with the drawers in the

bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly

distributed. Position of the door bins does not

affect energy consumption.

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open

longer than necessary.

• Freezer: The colder the temperature setting, the

higher the energy consumption.

• Fridge: Do not set too high temperature to save

energy unless it is required by the

characteristics of the food.

• If the ambient temperature is high and the

temperature control is set to low temperature

and the appliance is fully loaded, the

compressor may run continuously, causing frost

or ice formation on the evaporator. In this case,

set the temperature control toward higher

temperature to allow automatic defrosting and

to save energy this way.

• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover the

ventilation grilles or holes.

HINTS FOR FREEZING
• Activate FastFreeze function at least 24 hours

before placing the food inside the freezer

compartment.

• Before freezing wrap and seal fresh food in:

aluminium foil, plastic film or bags, airtight

containers with lid.

• For more efficient freezing and thawing divide

food into small portions.

• It is recommended to put labels and dates on all

your frozen food. This will help to identify foods

and to know when they should be used before

their deterioration.

• The food should be fresh when being frozen to

preserve good quality. Especially fruits and

vegetables should be frozen after the harvest to

preserve all of their nutrients.

• Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids, in

particular drinks containing carbon dioxide -

they may explode during freezing.

• Do not put hot food in the freezer compartment.

Cool it down at room temperature before

placing it inside the compartment.

• To avoid increase in temperature of already

frozen food, do not place fresh unfrozen food

directly next to it. Place food at room

temperature in the part of the freezer

compartment where there is no frozen food.

• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies

immediately after taking them out of the freezer.

Risk of frostbites.

• Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food has

defrosted, cook it, cool it down and then freeze

it.

HINTS FOR STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD
• The medium temperature setting ensures good

preservation of frozen food products.

Higher temperature setting inside the appliance

may lead to shorter shelf life.

• The whole freezer compartment is suitable for

storage of frozen food products.

• Leave enough space around the food to allow

air to circulate freely.

• For adequate storage refer to food packaging

label to see the shelf life of food.

• It is important to wrap the food in such a way

that prevents water, humidity or condensation

from getting inside.

SHOPPING TIPS
After grocery shopping:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged - the

food could be deteriorated. If the package is
