HINTS AND TIPS
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.
• 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.
• Ensure a good ventilation. Do not cover
the ventilation grilles or holes.
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.
• 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.
Hints for food refrigeration
• Fresh food compartment is the one
marked (on the rating plate) with
.
• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable
packaging and place it on the glass
shelf above the vegetable drawer.
Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
• 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.
• In order to accelerate cooling down of
the goods, it is advisable to turn on the
fan. The activation of DYNAMICAIR
allows greater homogenization of
internal temperatures.
• Always refer to the expiry date of the
products to know how long to keep
them.
