EN

Suggestion for Energy Saving

•• Ensure there is sufficient space between stored foods. This allows cold air to be circulated evenly and lowers electricity bills.

•• Store hot food only after it has cooled in order to prevent dew or frost.

•• When storing food in the freezer compartment, set the freezer temperature lower than the temperature indicated on the food.

•• Do not put food near the temperature sensor of the fridge compartment. Keep a distance of at least 3 cm from the sensor.

•• Note that a temperature rise after defrosting has a permissible range in the appliance specifications. If you wish to minimise the impact this may have on the food storage due to a temperature rise, seal or wrap the stored food in several layers.

•• The automatic defrosting system in the appliance ensures that the compartment remains free of ice buildup under normal operating conditions.

19

Storing Foods Effectively

•• Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside sealed containers.

•• Check the expiration date and label (storage instructions) before storing food in the appliance.

•• Do not store food for a long period of time (more than four weeks) if it spoils easily at a low temperature.

•• Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in each fridge or freezer compartment immediately after purchasing.

•• Avoid refreezing any food which has been completely thawed. Freezing any food which has been completely thawed again will lower its taste and nutrition.

•• Do not wrap and store vegetables with newspaper. Printing material of newspaper or other foreign substances may smear and contaminate food.

•• Do not overfill the appliance. Cold air can not circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.

•• If you set an excessively low temperature for food, it may become frozen. Do not set a temperature lower than the required

temperature for the food to be stored correctly.

•• If there are chill compartments in the appliance, do not store vegetables and fruits with higher moisture content in the chill compartments as they may freeze due to the lower temperature.

EN
