Arranging Food in the Appliance
Food storage in the fridge compartment
• The refrigerator compartment is used for
storing fresh food for a few days.
• Do not place food in direct contact with the
rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
Leave some space around food to allow for
the circulation of air.
• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquids
in the refrigerator.
• Always store food in closed containers or
wrapped.
• To reduce humidity and avoid the formation
of frost, never place liquids in unsealed
containers in the refrigerator.
• Meat of all types, wrapped in packages, is
recommended to be placed on the glass shelf
just above the vegetable bin, where the air is
colder.
• You can put fruits and vegetables into the
crisper without packaging.
• To prevent cold air escaping, try not to open
the refrigerator door too often, and do not
leave the door open for long periods.
Food storage in the freezer compartment
The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh
foods and for storing frozen foods for the period
of time indicated on the packaging, and for making
ice cubes.
• For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh
food properly - the packaging should be
airtight and should not leak. Special freezer
bags, aluminium foil (heavy grade; if in doubt
double-wrap), polythene bags, and plastic
containers are ideal.
• Do not allow fresh food to be frozen to come
into contact with already frozen food.
• Always mark the date and the content on the
pack and do not exceed the stated storage
time.
• In case of a power failure or malfunction,
the freezer compartment will maintain a
sufficiently low temperature for food storage.
However, avoid opening the freezer door
in order to slow down the temperature rise
within the freezer compartment.
• The maximum amount of fresh foods that
can be loaded in the freezer within 24 hours
is indicated on the name plate (see Freezing
Capacity).
• Never place warm food in the freezer
compartment.
• When purchasing and storing frozen food
products, ensure that the packaging is not
damaged.
• Storage time and recommended temperature
for storing frozen food is indicated on the
packaging. For storing and usage, follow the
manufacturer's instructions. If no information
is provided, food should not be stored for
more than 3 months.
• Following purchase, place frozen food in the
freezer compartment as soon as possible.
• Once food is thawed it must not be refrozen;
you must cook it as quickly as possible for
consumption or freeze once again.
Additional Storage: if you want to use the freezer's
maximum net capacity, remove the drawers and
store items directly on the cooling tubes. This will
enable you to make use of the entire volume of
the compartment.
