HINTS AND TIPS

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
s e t t i n g , t h e h i g h e r t h e e n e r g y
consumption.
• F r i d g e : D o n o t s e t t o o h i g h
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.
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.
Hints for storage of frozen food
Freezer compartment is the one
•
marked with
• Good temperature setting that ensures
preservation of frozen food products is a
temperature less than or equal to -18°C.
Higher temperature setting inside the
appliance may lead to shorter shelf life.
• The whole freezer compartment is
suitable for storage of frozen food
products.
• 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.
Shopping tips
After grocery shopping:
• Ensure that the packaging is not
d a m a g e d - t h e f o o d c o u l d b e
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.
