HINTS AND TIPS

HINTS FOR ENERGY SAVING
1. Freezer: The internal configuration of the appliance is the one that ensures the
most efficient use of energy.
2.
Fridge: Most efficient use of energy is ensured in the configuration with the
drawers in the bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly distributed.
Position of the door bins does not affect energy consumption.
3.
Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than necessary.
4. Freezer: The colder the temperature setting, the higher the energy consumption.
Fridge: Do not set too high temperature to save energy unless it is required by the
5.
characteristics of the food.
6.
If the ambient temperature is high and the temperature control is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice formation on the evaporator. In this case, set
the temperature control toward higher temperature to allow automatic defrosting
and to save energy this way.
7.
Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover the ventilation grilles or holes.
HINTS FOR FREEZING
1. Activate Super Freeze function at least 24 hours before placing the food inside
the freezer compartment.
2. Before freezing wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, plastic film or
bags, airtight containers with lid.
3. For more efficient freezing and thawing divide food into small portions.
4.
It is recommended to put labels and dates on all your frozen food. This will
help to identify foods and to know when they should be used before their
deterioration.
5.
The food should be fresh when being frozen to preserve good quality.
Especially fruits and vegetables should be frozen after the harvest to preserve
all of their nutrients.
6.
Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids, in particular drinks containing
carbon dioxide -they may explode during freezing.
7. Do not put hot food in the freezer compartment. Cool it down at room
temperature before placing it inside the compartment.
8. To avoid increase in temperature of already frozen food, do not place fresh
unfrozen food directly next to it. Place food at room temperature in the part of
the freezer compartment where there is no frozen food.
9.
Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice lollies immediately after taking them
out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
10.
Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If the food has defrosted, cook it, cool it
down and then freeze it.
HINTS FOR STORAGE OF FROZEN FOOD
• Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may lead to shorter shelf life.
• The whole freezer compartment is suitable for storage of frozen food products.
• Leave enough space around the food to allow air to circulate freely.
• For adequate storage refer to food packaging label to see the shelf life of food.
• It is important to wrap the food in such a way that prevents water, humidity or
condensation from getting inside.

SHOPPING TIPS
After grocery shopping:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged - the food could be deteriorated. If the
package is swollen or wet, it might have not been stored in the optimal conditions
and defrosting may have already started.
• To limit the defrosting process buy frozen goods at the end of your grocery
shopping and transport them in a thermal and insulated cool bag.
• Place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer after coming back from the
shop.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not refreeze it. Consume it as soon as
possible.
• Respect the expiry date and the storage information on the package.
