- The air circulates naturally, with the colder air falling be-
cause it is heavier. This is the reason why meat and cheeses
should be placed above the vegetable crisper.
- Please follow our instructions carefully on maximum stor-
age time: any food, even the freshest, will not remain edible
for any extended amount of time.
- Contrary to popular belief, cooked foods do not store any
longer than raw food.
- Do not place liquids in containers without covering them
because this will lead to an increase in the level of moisture
within the refrigerator, causing the formation of frost.
- Be careful not to place containers (plastic or glass), food or
other objects in direct contact with the cooling area of the
back wall of the refrigerator. This could harm the food, in-
crease energy consumption and facilitate the formation of
condensate (on food, containers, etc.).
- The refrigerator compartment is equipped with convenient,
removable shelves (Fig. 1) which can be adjusted for height
using the shelf guides. This allows you to place even large
containers and foodstuffs in the refrigerator. Fig. 1
ENERGY SAVING TIPS
- Install the Appliance Properly
In other words, away from sources of heat and direct sun-
light, in a well ventilated room.
- Correct Temperature Settings
Set the temperature control to one of the middle settings. Very
cold temperature settings will not only consume a great deal
of energy but will neither improve nor lengthen the storage life
of the food. Excessively cold temperatures may ruin vegeta-
bles, cold cuts and cheese.
- Do not Overfill your Appliance
Remember that proper storage of food requires good air cir-
culation. Overfilling your appliance will hamper proper air
circulation and overwork the compressor.
- Close the Doors
Open your refrigerator only when necessary, remember that
every time you open the door, most of the cold air will be lost.
To bring the temperature back to the proper level again, the
motor must run for a considerable amount of time, consuming
a substantial amount of energy.
- Check the Door Seal
Keep the seal clean and make sure that they adhere well to
the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.
- No Hot Foods
A container of hot food placed in the refrigerator will increase
the temperature significantly.
Allow food to cool before storing.
