Practical everyday tips
•
Do not place fridges or freezers next to radiators, heaters, stoves or in direct
sunlight.
•
Make sure that air vents are not covered up and clean the dust off them once or
twice a year.
•
Select the right temperature: 6 to 8°C in your refrigerator and -18°C in your freez-
er is sufficient.
•
When on holiday, turn up the temperature in your fridge.
•
Only open your fridge or freezer when necessary. It helps if you know what food
each contains and where it is located. Return food to the fridge or freezer as
soon as possible after you have used it so that it does not warm up too much.
•
Wipe the inside of your fridge regularly with a cloth soaked in a mild detergent.
Appliances which are not self-defrosting will require regular defrosting. Do not
allow frost layers thicker than 10 mm to form.
•
Keep the seal around the door clean, otherwise it will not shut properly. Always
replace broken seals.
Understanding the stars

be used to freeze up to 1 kilogram of fresh food.

freezing larger quantities of fresh foods.
Practical tips
Due to the natural circulation of the air in the appliance, there are different tempera-
ture zones in the refrigerator chamber.
•
The coldest area is directly above the vegetables drawers. Use this area for all
delicate and highly perishable food e.g.:
- Fish, meat, poultry
- Sausage products, ready meals
- Dishes or baked goods containing eggs or cream
- Fresh dough, cake mixtures
- Pre-packed vegetable and other fresh food with a label stating it should be kept at
a temperature of approx 4
•
The warmest area is in the top section of the door. Use this for storing butter and
cheese.
