6. HINTS AND TIPS
6.1 Hints for energy saving
• 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.
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than necessary.
• Do not set too high temperature to save
energy unless it is required by the
characteristics of the food.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover
the ventilation grilles or holes.
• Make sure that food products inside the
appliance allow air circulation through
dedicated holes in the rear interior of the
appliance.
6.2 Hints for fresh food refrigeration
• Good temperature setting that ensures
preservation of fresh food is a temperature
less than or equal to +4°C.
Higher temperature setting inside the
appliance may lead to shorter shelf life of
food.
• Cover the food with packaging to preserve
its freshness and aroma.
• Always use closed containers for liquids
and for food, to avoid flavours or odours in
the compartment.
5.6 Fan
The refrigerator compartment is equipped
with a device that allows rapid cooling of food
and keeps a more uniform temperature in the
compartment.
This device activates automatically when
needed.
Do not block the air inlet and outlet
openings when storing food, otherwise
air circulation provided by the fan will be
impaired.
• To avoid the cross-contamination between
cooked and raw food, cover the cooked
food and separate it from the raw one.
• It is recommended to defrost the food
inside the fridge.
• Do not insert hot food inside the
appliance. Make sure it has cooled down
at room temperature before inserting it.
• To prevent food waste the new stock of
food should always be placed behind the
old one.
6.3 Hints for food refrigeration
• Fresh food compartment is the one
marked (on the rating plate) with
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly
(eliminate the soil) and place in a special
drawer (vegetable drawer).
• It is advisable not to keep the exotic fruits
like bananas, mangos, papayas etc. in the
refrigerator.
• Vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes,
onions, and garlic should not be kept in
the refrigerator.
• Butter and cheese: place in an airtight
container or wrap in an aluminium foil or a
polythene bag to exclude as much air as
possible.
• Bottles: close them with a cap and place
them on the door bottle shelf, or (if
available) on the bottle rack.
