TIPS AND SUGGESTIONS
• Fresh and frozen foods should not be stored
together. The coldness from the frozen goods
can be transferred to the other produce
causing the goods to spoil. It is best to put an
insulating layer between these goods.
• When the appliance is being set at 0° or lower
temperatures, do not store glass bottles or
liquids such as beer, milk, juices or soft drinks
in the unit as these may freeze and shatter.
• Items such as fruit and vegetables should
be stored closer to the top of the cabinet as
this area is normally slightly warmer. This will
reduce the risk of spoiling and ensures that
damage is not caused by being crushed by
heavier items.
• To improve the efficiency of your Fridge/
Freezer it is better to have the cabinet as full
as possible at all times. A full cabinet will
provide lower power consumption over 24 hours
than a half empty one. When the cabinet is full
there is little air space between the goods so
the cold air is trapped, when there is lots of
air the coldness cannot be captured and held.
On a trip it is a good idea to replace finished
products with bottles of water or similar.
This will fill the empty spaces and allow the
coldness to remain within the cabinet.
• Make your selection of what you wish to remove
from the cabinet before you open the door. This
will reduce the time that the cabinet is open
and the level of warm air that will enter the
cabinet while the door is open.
• When located in the rear of a car or trailer, it
is recommended that the appliance be kept
away from direct sunlight to reduce the risk
of increased heat. It should also be provided
with suitable ventilation to guarantee efficient
power consumption and performance. You
must remember that when a vehicle is parked
in the sun that on a day where the ambient
temperature is +30°C, the interior of the
vehicle can reach +55°C.
