evenly throughout.

•Sodas and beers keep perfectly on the upper door shelves, where they are easily accessible and exposed to the cold quickly and directly.

•When putting in and taking out food and drink try not to leave the door open too long. This will reduce your refrigerator’s energy consumption and make it more efficient.

•When freezing food, prepare small portions and place them in such a way that the air in the freezer can circulate around them. This will make freezing time faster and ensure you use the entire portion.

•Always take heed of use-by dates on frozen food as indicated by the manufacturer.

•Do not place sealed glass containers which have any liquids inside in the freezer, as these could break and cause an accident.

•Products such as sorbet or pieces of ice should not be consumed at too cold temperature.

•When putting a food item into the freezer try to avoid putting it on top of or too close to an item that is already frozen.

Avoid storing food in the freezer for excessive durations of time. See the following quick reference guide:
