Energy saving tips
Do not leave the door open for a long time because hot air will enter the
refrigerator, and the cold air inside will escape, thereby wasting energy. Make
sure there are no obstructions preventing the door from closing properly.
Advice for good food hygiene
Do not place hot dishes in the freezer until they have cooled down, as
•
food that is already frozen could spoil. Place fresh food to be frozen in
the top 2 drawers and use the other drawers to store already frozen
products. Do not mix products which are already frozen with fresh
products.
When you wish to freeze foods (meat, ground meat, fish, etc.), consider
•
dividing items into portions so that they can be eaten all at once.
Do not refreeze food that has thawed. This presents a risk to your health from

food poisoning.
When you buy frozen foods, make sure they have been properly frozen and

that the packaging is not torn.

in the freezer. Always follow the instructions on the packaging and never
exceed the use by date.

burst when the contents freeze, and sodas can even explode! Never store
fizzy drinks, juice, beer, sparkling wine, etc. in the freezer.
WARNING: do not put ice cream or ice in your mouth immediately after taking

it out of the freezer. Very cold ice can freeze on your lips or tongue and hurt
