- Within the refrigerator compartment, the air circulates

naturally, with the colder air falling because 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 conven-

ient, removable shelves which can be adjusted for height

using the shelf guides. This allows you to place even large

containers and foodstuffs in the refrigerator.

Tips on Saving Energy

- Install the Appliance Properly

In other words, away from sources of heat and direct sun-

light, in a well ventilated room complying with the mini-

mum distances indicated in the paragraph entitled, “ Instal-

lation/Ventilation.”

THE ACTUAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION OF THE APPLIANCE

DEPENDS ON THE WAY THE SAME IS USED AND ON ITS

LOCATION. The consumption tests were performed in 560mm

deep column units, the most common installation setting for this

appliance.

- Use the Right Temperature Setting

A setting which is too cold increases energy consumption.

- Do not Overfill

To conserve food properly, the cold air must circulate freely

within the refrigerator. If it is overfilled, this will prevent proper

air circulation, forcing the compressor to work continuously.

- Close the Doors

Open your refrigerator as little as possible because each time

you do so you loose much of the cold air. To raise the tem-

perature to the proper level again, the motor must work for

a long time, consuming energy.

- Keep an Eye on the Seals

Keep the seals clean and make sure that they adhere well to

the door. This alone will ensure that no cold air escapes.

- No Hot Foods

A hot pot or pan placed in the refrigerator immediately raises

the temperature several degrees. Let hot cookware and food

cool to ambient temperature before placing them in the re-

frigerator.

- Defrost the Freezer

Check the thickness of the frost on the walls of the freezer

and immediately defrost it if the layer of frost is too thick.

(see the section entitled, “Keeping your Appliance in Shape”).

- For the preparation of food to be frozen, please con-

sult a specialized manual.

- Food that has be thawed, even partially, must not be re-

frozen: you must cook it in order to consume it (within 24

hours) or to freeze it once again.

- Fresh foods that you intend to freeze must not be placed

in contact with those that are already frozen or those that

have been fast-frozen. Rather, they must placed atop the

grate in the freezer compartment, in contact with the walls

of the compartment (back or side) if possible. Please keep in

mind that proper conservation of frozen foods depends on

the speed with which they are frozen.

- During the freezing process, avoid opening the door of the

freezer.

- The maximum daily quantity of food that can be frozen is

indicated on the rating plate located to the left of the veg-

etable crisper.

- In order to freeze and then thaw foods optimally, it is rec-

ommended that you divide food into small portions so that

they freeze quickly and uniformly. The packages should be

clearly marked with the content and the date they were

frozen.

- Do not open the freezer door in the event of a power

failure or malfunction. This precaution will slow the rise in

temperature within the compartment. If the door is not

opened, frozen and fast-frozen foods will remain in their

current state for approximately 9-14 hours.

- Do not place full bottles in the freezer: they could easily

burst because all liquids increase in volume when they freeze.

- Fill the ice cube trays about 3/4 full.

- If the ambient temperature remains below 14°C for an

extended period of time, the temperature needed for ex-

tended storage of food in the freezer will not be reached,

resulting in reduced storage life of the food.
