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 and the Temperature Regulator is set to low tem- perature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run continuously, causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If this happens, set the Temperature Regu- lator toward warmer settings to allow au- tomatic defrosting and so a saving in elec- tricity 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

Useful hints:

Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable 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 special drawer(s) provided.

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 temperature inside the fridge

•A suitable temperature inside the fridge is approx. +5° C. It is normal with higher tem- perature in the top of the fridge and lower temperature in the lower part. If the tem- perature regulator is set to a cold temper- ature, the ambient temperature is high or if the fridge is fully loaded the compressor will run for a longer time. This results in colder temperature in the lower part of the fridge due to the cold air that falls down. It may result in that food with high water content start to freeze. If too cold, change to a higher temperature setting.

Important! Do not place any shelves towards the water drain hole. This can result in too cold temperatures.

•If you want to check the temperature of food stored in the refrigerator, place a glass of water centrally in the cabinet, and put a proper thermometer with an accura- cy of +/– 1 °C into it. After 6 hours the temperature can be monitored. The meas- uring shall be performed under steady-sta- ted conditions (without changing the load).
