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.
1. To remove the drawer lift its front part.

2. Pull out the whole drawer together with
the lids.
Caution! You can place a
maximum of 4 kg on each lid.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• The medium temperature setting ensures
good preservation of fresh food.
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.
