- Within the refrigerator compartment, the air circulates
naturally, with the colder air falling because it is heavier. This
is the reason why meat and cheeses should be placed above
the vegetable crisper.
- Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum stor-
age time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain edible
for any extended amount of time.
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not store any
longer than raw food.
- Do not place liquids in containers without covering them
because this will lead to an increase in the level of moisture
within the refrigerator, causing the formation of frost.
- Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass), food or
other objects in direct contact with the cooling area of the
Freezing Foods Properly
- For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con-
sult a specialized manual.
- Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be re-fro-
zen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24 hours)
or to freeze it once again.
- Fresh foods that you intend to freeze must not be placed in
contact with those that are already frozen or those that have
been fast-frozen. Rather, they must placed atop the grate in
the freezer compartment, in contact with the walls of the com-
partment (back or side) if possible. Please keep in mind that
proper conservation of frozen foods depends on the speed with
which they are frozen.
- During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the
freezer.
- In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is recom-
Tips on Saving Energy
- Install the Appliance Properly
In other words, away from sources of heat and direct sunlight, in
a well ventilated room complying with the minimum distances
indicated in the paragraph entitled, " Installation/Ventilation."
THE ACTUAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF THE APPLIANCE
DEPENDS ON THE WAY THE SAME IS USED AND ON ITS
LOCATION.
The consumption tests were performed in 560mm deep column
units, the most common installation setting for this appliance.
- Use the Right Temperature Setting
A setting which is too cold increases energy consumption.
- Do not Overfill
To conserve food properly, the cold air must circulate freely within
the refrigerator. If it is overfilled, this will prevent proper air circu-
lation, forcing the compressor to work continuously.
- Close the Doors
Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time

back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food, in-
crease energy consumption and facilitate the formation of
condensate (on food, containers, etc.).
- The refrigerator compart-
ment is equipped with con-
venient, removable shelves
(Fig. 1) which can be ad-
justed for height using the
shelf guides. This allows you
to place even large contain-
ers and foodstuffs in the re-
frigerator.
mended that you divide food into small portions so that they
freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be clearly
marked with the content and the date they were frozen.
- Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power failure
or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in tempera-
ture within the compartment. If the door is not opened, frozen
and fast-frozen foods will remain in their current state for ap-
proximately 9-14 hours.
- Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily burst
because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.
- Fill the ice cube trays about 3/4 full.
- If the ambient temperature remains below 14°C for an ex-
tended period of time, the temperature needed for extended
storage of food in the freezer will not be reached, resulting in
reduced storage life of the food.
you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the tempera-
ture to the proper level again, the motor must work for a long
time, consuming energy.
- Keep an Eye on the Seals
Keep the seals clean and make sure that they adhere well to the
door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.
- No Hot Foods
A hot pot or pan placed in the refrigerator immediately raises
the temperature several degrees. Let hot cookware and food
cool to ambient temperature before placing them in the refrig-
erator.
- Defrost the Freezer
Check the thickness of the frost on the walls of the freezer and
immediately defrost it if the layer of frost is too thick. (see the
section entitled, "Keeping your Appliance in Shape").
