HINTS AND TIPS

Food Storage

To obtain the best results from your appliance, neither hot foods nor liquids which may evaporate, should be placed in the larder compartment.

Keep the time between buying chilled food and placing it in your fridge as short as possible.

Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item.

Do not store food uncovered.

Remove suspect food from your refrigerator and clean, refer to ‘Maintenance and Cleaning’.

Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labelled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best.

Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it straight away. The use of an insulated container is advisable. When you arrive home place the frozen food in the freezer immediately.

Energy Saving Advice

Do not install the cabinet close to sources of heat, i.e. boiler or radiator.

Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated room and make sure that the air openings of the cabinet are not obstructed.

Avoid unnecessary frosting in the cabinet by packing all foodstuffs into airtight packages before placing them in the freezer.

Always leave warm food to cool down to room temperature before placing in the fridge or freezer.

Food which is to be frozen (when cool) should be placed in the fridge before being transferred to the freezer.

Thaw frozen food in the fridge. This will ensure safer defrosting of foods and reduce the work of the refrigeration unit.

Try to avoid keeping the door open for long periods, or opening the door too frequently as warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.

Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.
