fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen
food for a long time.
Activate the Extra Freeze function at least 24
h before placing the food to be frozen in the
freezer compartment.
5. HINTS AND TIPS
5.1 Hints for energy saving
• Fridge: 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.
• Freezer: The colder the temperature
setting, the higher the energy
consumption.
• Fridge: 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.

the value shown on rating plate under
"rising time", the defrosted food must be
consumed immediately. Refer to "High
temperature alarm".
• Do not cover the ventilation grilles or
holes.
5.2 Hints for freezing
• Do not freeze bottles or cans with liquids,
in particular drinks containing carbon
dioxide. They may explode during
freezing.
• Do not put hot food in the freezer
compartment.
• Do not place fresh unfrozen food directly
next to already frozen food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice
lollies immediately after taking them out of
the freezer to avoid frostbites.
• Do not re-freeze defrosted food.
5.3 Hints for storage of frozen food
