HINTS AND TIPS

Hints for energy saving

• The internal configuration of the

appliance is the one that ensures the most efficient use of energy.

• Do not open the door frequently or

leave it open longer than necessary.

• The colder the temperature setting, the

higher the energy consumption.

• 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.
