Storing food and drink
For optimal use of the refrigerator compartment observe the following instructions:
Never put hot liquid or food in the refrigerator while evaporating;
Cover or wrap food prior to storage (food containing spices in particular);
Arrange food so that air can circulate freely inside the compartment.
Meat (all types): wrap in protective material and store up to 1-2days maximum.
Cooked food and cold meals etc must be covered well and stored in any position in the
refrigerator.
Fruit and vegetables should be cleaned and stored in the relative drawer.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic should be stored in the refrigerator unless
rewrapped.
Food shelves
The walls of the cold storage area are equipped with guides to enable insertion of the
grids or shelves in various positions as required.
Positioning inner door trays
Inner door trays can be inserted in various positions. To change the position proceed as
follows:
Pull the tray up out of its seat and refit in the new position.
The upper tray can be removed to ensure thorough cleaning when required.
Storing frozen food/freezing fresh food
Appliances with compartments with the symbol can be used to store frozen food for a
maximum time of one month. Appliances with the
symbol are suitable for storing
frozen food but not for freezing fresh food, while appliance with
symbol are
suitable for both uses.
To store frozen food, ensure that the retailer has previously stored it correctly.
The interval between purchase and placing the food in the freezer should be the minimum
possible.
Never exceed the storage period indicated on the food packaging.
Only open the freezer door when necessary and as briefly as possible.
In the event of operation after prolonged periods of disuse, take care to set the
thermostat knob to the highest setting, and switch on the appliance under no-load
conditions for 2-3 hours, then place food in the refrigerator as required and adjust
the thermostat knob to an intermediate setting.
Appliances with compartments that have no symbol are unsuitable for freezing fresh foods
and for storing frozen food.
IMPORTANT
z If the food stored in the freezer compartment is unintentionally defrosted, e.g. due to
a power failure, it should be consumed within a short interval even if not completely
thawed. The food may also be refrozen after being cooked (
appliance).
z Brief interruptions (up to 6-8 hours) do not affect frozen food.
Defrosting the appliance
The rear wall of the fridge covers with frost when the compressor is
running, and defrosts when the compressor is off. The water from the
thawing frost evaporates by itself.
