5. Hints and Tips

5.1 Hints for energy saving

• The configuration with the drawers in the bottom part of the appliance and shelves evenly distributed ensures the most efficient use of energy. 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 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.
• Do not cover the ventilation grilles or holes.

5.2 Hints for food refrigeration

• Fresh food compartment is marked (on the rating plate) with ❄️.
• Good temperature setting that ensures preservation of fresh food is a temperature less than or equal to +4°C.
• 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.
• Wrap and place meat on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
• Defrost the food inside the fridge.
• Do not insert hot food inside the appliance.
• Clean fruit and vegetables and place in a dedicated drawer (vegetable drawer).
• Do not keep exotic fruits in the fridge.
• Do not keep vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and garlic in the fridge.
• Close the bottles before you put them into the fridge.
• Turn on the fan to accelerate cooling down of the food.
