Helpful hints and tips

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it

open longer than absolutely necessary.

• If the ambient temperature is high, the tem-

perature regulator is on the higher setting

and the appliance is fully loaded, the com-

pressor may run continuously, causing frost

or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, turn

the temperature regulator toward lower

settings to allow automatic defrosting and

so a saving in electricity consumption.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• Do not store warm food or evaporating liq-

uids in the refrigerator.

• Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it

has a strong flavour.

• Position food so that air can circulate freely

around it.

Hints for refrigeration

• Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags

and place on the glass shelf above the veg-

etable 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 thor-

oughly cleaned and placed in the drawer.

• Butter and cheese: these should be placed

in special airtight containers or wrapped in

aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude

as much air as possible.

• Milk bottles: these should have a cap and

should be stored in the bottle rack on the

door.

• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic: if not

packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing

process, here are some hints:

• The maximum quantity of food which can be

frozen in 24 hours is shown on the rating

plate.

• The freezing process takes 24 hours. No fur-

ther food to be frozen should be added dur-

ing this period.

• Freeze only top quality, fresh and thorough-

ly cleaned foodstuffs.

• Prepare food in small portions to enable it

to be rapidly and completely frozen and to

make it possible subsequently to thaw only

the quantity required.

• Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or poly-

thene and make sure that the packages are

airtight.

• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch

food which is already frozen, thus avoiding

a rise in temperature of the latter.

• Lean foods store better and longer than fat-

ty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food.

• Water ices, if consumed immediately after

removal from the freezer compartment, can

possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt.

• It is advisable to show the freezing in date

on each individual pack to enable you to

keep tab of the storage time.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this ap-

pliance, you should:

• Make sure that the commercially frozen

foodstuffs were adequately stored by the

retailer.

• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are trans-

ferred from the foodstore to the freezer in

the shortest possible time.

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it

open longer than absolutely necessary.
