6. HINTS AND TIPS

6.1 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.

6.2 Hints for freezing

• Activate Super Freeze 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.

6.3 Hints for storage of frozen

food

• Freezer compartment is the one

marked with .

• Higher temperature setting inside the

appliance may lead to shorter shelf

life.

• The whole freezer compartment is

suitable for storage of frozen food

products.

ENGLISH 13

• 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.

6.4 Shopping tips

After grocery shopping:

• Ensure that the packaging is not

damaged - the food could be

deteriorated. If the package is swollen

or wet, it might have not been stored

in the optimal conditions and

defrosting may have already started.

• To limit the defrosting process buy

frozen goods at the end of your

grocery shopping and transport them

in a thermal and insulated cool bag.

• Place the frozen foods immediately in

the freezer after coming back from the

shop.

• If food has defrosted even partially, do

not re-freeze it. Consume it as soon

as possible.

• Respect the expiry date and the

storage information on the package.

special drawer (vegetable drawer).

• It is advisable not to keep the exotic

fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas

etc. in the refrigerator.

• Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes,

onions, and garlic should not be kept

in the refrigerator.

• Butter and cheese: place in an airtight

container or wrap in an aluminium foil

or a polythene bag to exclude as

much air as possible.

• Bottles: close them with a cap and

place them on the door bottle shelf, or

(if available) on the bottle rack.

• Always refer to the expiry date of the

products to know how long to keep

them.
