Energy-Saving Tips And Hints For Freezing - Klarstein 10030308 Handbuch

• High ambient temperatures and simultaneously operating at the coldest setting may make the compressor
operate permanently to keep the temperature constant inside the appliance.
• Defrost the appliance periodically as encrusted ice will decrease the power and increase the energy con-
sumption of the appliance.

Energy-saving Tips and Hints for Freezing

• Cooked food can be stored in the appliance. Let it cool down to room temperature before you put it into
your appliance.
• Store your food in colourless, airtight and tasteless materials.
• Some food like meat, fish etc. may become dry and release strong odours. You can avoid these by wrapping
them into aluminium foil or plastic wrap or putting them into an airtight bag or container.
• Allow ample storage place for your food. Do not overfill your appliance.
• Wrap your food in plastic wrap or suitable paper and place each kind of food in a particular location in your
appliance. This will prevent any contamination, a loss of water and a mingling of odours.
• Let warm or hot food cool down to room temperature before you put it into your appliance. Otherwise the
energy consumption will increase.
• Put the frozen food you want to defrost into the cooling-compartment of you appliance.
• Try opening the door as little as possible, especially when the weather is warm and humid. If you open the
door, close it as fast as possible.
• Permanently check , that the appliance is well-ventilated. The appliance has to be well-ventilated from all
sides.
How to freeze food
• Wrap fresh food you want to freeze in aluminium foil, cling film, air and water tight plastic bags, polyethylene
containers or other suitable plastic containers with a lid.
• Leave some free space between the single pieces of frozen food as proper air circulation is required.
• The food is frozen completely after 24 hours (you find the relevant information about the maximum free-
zing capacity within 24 hours in chapter technical data).
• Only buy frozen food, when its packaging is not damaged. Damaged packaging may indicate an interruption
of the cold chain.
• Avoid or reduce variations in temperature: buy frozen food at the end of shopping and transport it in ther-
mally insulated bags.
• Do not refreeze defrosted and semi-defrosted food. Consume within 24 hours.
• Observe the complete information on the packaging of frozen food.
