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.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer provided.
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
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.
Hints for the storage of frozen food
Ensure that frozen food has been stored
correctly by the food retailer.
Once defrosted, foods deteriorate rapidly
and can not be re-frozen.
