Hints for fresh food refrigeration
•
Do not place hot food directly into the refrigerator or freezer, the internal temperature will increase
resulting in the compressor having to work harder and will consume more energy.
•
Do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavor.
•
Place food properly so that air can circulate freely around it.
Hints for refrigerator

When first starting-up or after a period out of use, let the appliance run at least 2 hours on the higher settings
before putting food in the compartment.

subsequently thaw only the quantity required.

Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, will probably cause
frost burns to the skin.
