    • Storing food
      • ■ Store fresh, undamaged food. The quality and freshness will then be retained for longer.
      • ■ In the case of ready-made products and bottled goods, observe the best- before date or use-by date specified by the manufacturer.
      • ■ To retain aroma, colour and freshness, pack or cover food well before placing in the appliance. This will prevent the transfer of flavours and the discolouration of plastic parts in the refrigerator compartment.
      • ■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
    • Note the chill zones in the refrigerator compartment
      • ■ Coldest zone is between the vegetable container and the glass shelf situated above. Fig. $
      • Note
      • Store perishable food (e.g. fish, sausage, meat) in the coldest zone above the vegetable container.
      • ■ Warmest zone is at the very top of the door.
      • Note
      • Store e.g. hard cheese and butter in the warmest zone. Cheese can then continue to release its flavour and the butter will still be easy to spread.

  • Tips for saving energy
    • ■ Install the appliance in a dry, well ventilated room! The appliance should not be installed in direct sunlight or near a heat source (e.g. radiator, cooker).
    • If required, use an insulating plate.
    • ■ Select 560 mm cavity depth.
    • A smaller cavity depth will result in a higher energy consumption.
    • ■ Allow warm food and drinks to cool down before placing in the appliance.
    • ■ Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator compartment and use the low temperature of the frozen food to cool refrigerated food.
    • ■ Open the appliance as briefly as possible.
    • ■ Regularly defrost the freezer compartment to remove the layer of frost.
    • A layer of hoarfrost will impair refrigeration of the frozen food and increase power consumption.
    • ■ Ensure that the freezer compartment door is always closed properly.
    • ■ Occasionally clean the rear of the appliance to prevent an increased power consumption.
    • ■ The arrangement of the fittings does not affect the energy rating of the appliance.
  • Operating noises
    • Quite normal noises
      • Droning
      • Bubbling, humming or gurgling noises
