where we will discuss some essential tips for correctly using your fridge and freezer. These appliances play a vital role in preserving the freshness and quality of your food, as well as optimizing energy efficiency. By following these tips, you can ensure the longevity of your fridge and freezer while maintaining food safety and minimizing wastage. Let's dive in!


Upon receipt of the refrigerator or freezer, leave the appliance in an upright position for at least 2 hours before switching it on.

 

To get the best performance from your refrigerator and / or freezer:

• - Do not place food too close to the ventilation openings (located at the bottom of the appliance), as this could hinder the air circulation and therefore reduce the performance of the refrigerator.

• - Wrap foods properly or place them in airtight containers before placing them in the refrigerator or freezer.

• - Respect the expiration dates of food.

• - Do not place carbonated drinks in the freezer (bottles or cans may deform or explode).

• - Place the ice cube tray in the position originally supplied by the manufacturer for optimal conservation of the ice.

• -Do not store foods that spoil easily at low temperatures, such as bananas or melons.

It is not necessary to unplug the refrigerator if it is to be left off for less than three weeks. However, if you plan to leave it off for more than 3 weeks, remove all food, unplug the refrigerator, clean it and dry it.

Power cuts of less than 2 hours do not affect the temperature of the refrigerator. However, you should keep the refrigerator or freezer door open as little as possible during the power cut. If the outage lasts longer than 24 hours, remove all frozen food.
