Energy saving tips
We recommend that you follow the tips
below to save energy.
Try to avoid keeping the door open for
long periods in order to conserve energy.
Ensure the appliance is away from any
sources of heat (Direct sunlight, electric
oven or cooker etc)
Don't set the temperature colder than
necessary.
Don't store warm food or evaporating
liquid in the appliance.
Place the appliance in a well ventilated,
humidity free, room. Please refer to
Installing your new appliance chapter.
If the diagram shows the correct
combination for the drawers, crisper and
shelves, do not adjust the combination as
this is designed to be the most energy
efficient configuration.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
Do not place hot food directly into the
refrigerator or freezer,the internal
temperature will increase resulting in the
compressor having to work harder and
will consume more energy.
Do cover or wrap the food,particularly if
it has a strong flavor.
Place food properly so that air can
circulate freely around it.
Hints for refrigeration
Meat (All Types) Wrap in polythene
food: wrap and place on the glass shelf
above the vegetable drawer. Always
follow food storage times and use by
dates suggested by manufacturers.
Cooked food, cold dishes, etc.:
They should be covered and may be
placed on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables:
They should be stored in the special
drawer provided.
Butter and cheese:
Should be wrapped in airtight foil or
plastic film wrap.

Should have a lid and be stored in the
door racks.
Hints for freezing
When first starting-up or after a period
out of use, let the appliance run at least 2
hours on the higher settings before
putting food in the compartment.
Prepare food in small portions to enable
it to be rapidly and completely frozen and
to make it possible to subsequently thaw
only the quantity required.
Wrap up the food in aluminum foil or
polyethylene food wraps which are
airtight.
Do not allow fresh,unfrozen food to
touch the food which is already frozen to
avoid temperature rise of the latter.
Iced products,if consumed immediately
after removal from the freezer
compartment,will probably cause frost
burns to the skin.
It is recommended to label and date
each frozen package in order to keep
track of the storage time.
Hints for the storage of frozen food
Ensure that frozen food has been
stored correctly by the food retailer.
Once defrosted,food will deteriorate
rapidly and should not be re-frozen. Do
not exceed the storage period indicated
by the food manufacturer.
