Helpful Hints and Tips
Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
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 freeroom. 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.
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
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.
For Meat: (all types) wrap in cling 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 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.
Milk bottles:
Should have a lid and be stored in the
door racks.
Hints for refrigeration
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
cling wraps which are airtight.
Do not allow unfrozen food to touch the
food which is already frozen to avoid
temperature rise of the latter.
