After a couple of hours, you can place fresh food into the refrigerator. Once you have bought your food, remove all external packaging made of paper/cardboard or other wrappers, which could introduce bacteria or dirt inside your refrigerator. Protect the food, (especially easily perishable items and those that have a strong smell), in order to avoid contact between them, thereby removing both the possibility of germ/bacteria contamination as well as the diffusion of strong odours inside the fridge. Store all food in such a way as to ensure air can circulate freely between different items. Keep the inside of your fridge clean, taking care not to use oxidiser or abrasive products. Remove all food past its expiry date from the refrigerator. Sausages, salami, sandwich meats in general, fresh 3 or 4 days pasta, custards, puddings, chocolates, cream pastries, bread, dry pastries, red tomatoes Bottled products, milk, drinks, yoghurt Fruits and legumes On any shelf.

GB 4 Energy Saving Tips - Install the Appliance Correctly This means that the appliance should be installed away from heat sources or direct sunlight in a well ventilated room. 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. - Keep the Door Closed Open the refrigerator only when necessary; remember that every time you open the door most of the cold air will be lost. To bring the temperature back to the proper level, the motor must run for a considerable amount of time, consuming a substantial amount of energy. - Check the Seal on the Door Keep the seal clean and soft so that it fits tightly against the door to ensure that no cold air is lost. - Correct Temperature Settings Set the refrigerator temperature knob to one of the middle settings. Very cold temperature settings will not only consume a great deal of energy but will neither improve nor lengthen the storage life of the food.
