6. HINTS AND TIPS6.1 Hints for energy saving• Freezer: The internal configuration of

the appliance is the one that ensuresthe most efficient use of energy.

• Fridge: Most efficient use of energy isensured in the configuration with thedrawers in the bottom part of theappliance and shelves evenlydistributed. Position of the door binsdoes not affect energy consumption.

• Do not open the door frequently orleave it open longer than necessary.

• Freezer: The colder the temperaturesetting, the higher the energyconsumption.

• Fridge: Do not set too hightemperature to save energy unless itis required by the characteristics ofthe food.

• If the ambient temperature is high andthe temperature control is set to lowtemperature and the appliance is fullyloaded, the compressor may runcontinuously, causing frost or iceformation on the evaporator. In thiscase, set the temperature controltoward higher temperature to allowautomatic defrosting and to saveenergy this way.

• Ensure a good ventilation. Do notcover the ventilation grilles or holes.

6.2 Hints for freezing• Activate FastFreeze function at least

24 hours before placing the foodinside the freezer compartment.

• Before freezing wrap and seal freshfood in: aluminium foil, plastic film orbags, airtight containers with lid.

• For more efficient freezing andthawing divide food into smallportions.

• It is recommended to put labels anddates on all your frozen food. This willhelp to identify foods and to knowwhen they should be used before theirdeterioration.

• The food should be fresh when beingfrozen to preserve good quality.Especially fruits and vegetablesshould be frozen after the harvest topreserve all of their nutrients.

• Do not freeze bottles or cans withliquids, in particular drinks containingcarbon dioxide - they may explodeduring freezing.

• Do not put hot food in the freezercompartment. Cool it down at roomtemperature before placing it insidethe compartment.

• To avoid increase in temperature ofalready frozen food, do not placefresh unfrozen food directly next to it.Place food at room temperature in thepart of the freezer compartmentwhere there is no frozen food.

• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or icelollies immediately after taking themout of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.

• Do not re-freeze defrosted food. If thefood has defrosted, cook it, cool itdown and then freeze it.

6.3 Hints for storage of frozenfood• Freezer compartment is the one

marked with .• The medium temperature setting

ensures good preservation of frozenfood products.Higher temperature setting inside theappliance may lead to shorter shelflife.

• The whole freezer compartment issuitable for storage of frozen foodproducts.

• Leave enough space around the foodto allow air to circulate freely.

• For adequate storage refer to foodpackaging label to see the shelf life offood.

• It is important to wrap the food in sucha way that prevents water, humidity orcondensation from getting inside.

6.4 Shopping tipsAfter grocery shopping:• Ensure that the packaging is not

damaged - the food could bedeteriorated. If the package is swollenor wet, it might have not been storedin the optimal conditions anddefrosting may have already started.


• To limit the defrosting process buyfrozen goods at the end of yourgrocery shopping and transport themin a thermal and insulated cool bag.

• Place the frozen foods immediately inthe freezer after coming back from theshop.

• If food has defrosted even partially, donot re-freeze it. Consume it as soonas possible.

• Respect the expiry date and thestorage information on the package.
