9 Care and maintenance
▪ Do not defrost frozen food at room temperature or on the heating. Food defrosts
slowly in the refrigerator compartment. As a quick alternative, defrost in a microwave
or steam cooker.
8.3 Notes on saving energy
▪ Leave the drawers, glass shelves and door trays as far as possible in the positions
that they were in upon delivery. These ensure ideal temperature distribution and effi-
ciency.
▪ Only open the appliance doors when necessary and keep them open for as short a
time as possible.
▪ Allow hot or warm food to cool down before putting it in the appliance.
▪ Store food that releases moisture in closed containers or covered in the refrigerator
compartment. Moisture reduces the cooling capacity.
▪ For ideal air circulation: Do not store food and food items too close to each other.
