Be sure the refrigerator stays in the upright position during transportation.
Save energy
- Install the refrigerator in the coolest part of the room, out of direct sunlight and away
from heating ducts or registers. Do not place the refrigerator next to heat-producing
appliances such as a range, oven or dishwasher.
- The refrigerator door should remain open only as long as necessary; do not place hot
food inside the refrigerator.
- Organize the refrigerator to reduce door openings .Remove as many items as needed
at one time and close the door as soon as possible.
- The refrigerator door should be properly closed to avoid increased energy consumption,
and the formation of excess ice and / or condensation inside.
- Constantly circulating cold air keeps the temperature homogenous inside the
refrigerator. For this reason, it is important to properly distribute the food, to facilitate the
flow of air.
- Cover foods and wipe containers dry before placing them in the refrigerator. This cuts
down on moisture build-up inside the unit.
- Do not overcrowd the refrigerator or block cold airvents. Doing so causes the
refrigerator to run longer and use more energy. Shelves should not be lined with
aluminum foil, wax paper or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation,
making the refrigerator less efficient, which could cause food spoilage.
- The arrangement of food for storage and for freezing, where applicable, particularly
including advice that food to be frozen is not to be placed in direct contact with food in
storage and, if appropriate, that it could be necessary to reduce the quantity to be
frozen if freezing every day is anticipated.
- During prolonged absences (example: vacations), it is advisable to disconnect the
refrigerator, remove all the food, and clean it . The door should be left slightly open to
avoid mold and unpleasant odors. This will not affect the refrigerator when it is
reconnected.
- During short absences (example: holidays), the refrigerator can remain on. However,
remember that prolonged power outages may occur while you are gone.
- The door to the evaporator clearance can be used to store food.
- The storage time(s) recommended by the food manufacturers for any kind of food and
particularly for commercially quick-frozen food in food-freezer and frozen-food storage
compartments or cabinets.
- The precautions necessary to prevent an undue rise in the temperature of the frozen
food while defrosting the refrigerating appliance, such as wrapping the frozen food in
several layers of newspaper.
- The fact that a rise in temperature of the frozen food during manual defrosting,
maintenance or cleaning could shorten the storage life.
- The care required with regard to frozen food in storage in the event of an extended non-
running of the refrigerating appliance (interruption of power supply or failure of the
refrigerating system).
- It is better wrapping the frozen food in several layers of the glass shelves.
- The care required with regard to frozen food in stora.
