Under the recommended setting, the best shelf life is no more than 3 days in the refrigerator and 3
months in the freezer (4 stars); The better storage time may reduce other parameters.
PREPARING FOOD FOR THE REFRIGERATOR
Wrap fresh foods well: they will retain aroma, color, moisture content and freshness. You will also avoid
in this way that the taste of certain foods is transmitted to others. Only vegetables, fruit and salads can
be stored unpackaged in the vegetable drawer.
Note: Food should not directly touch any surfaces inside the appliance. It should be packed separately
in aluminum foil or cellophane sheet or waterproof plastic boxes. Make sure food is securely wrapped or
covered before storing. This will prevent food from becoming dehydrated, losing its color or losing its taste
and will help maintain its freshness. This will also prevent the transfer of odors. Vegetables and fruits do
not need to be wrapped if stored in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator.
Leave hot food and drinks to cool outside the appliance. Remove the cardboard packaging around the
yoghurt pots. Check the expiry date indicated on the products you have purchased. It should not be
exceeded.
ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR
The temperature inside your refrigerator is not uniform. Some areas are colder than others and you must
store your food in the appropriate areas according to their type to ensure that they can be kept safely.
Leave a space between the food items to allow the air to circulate freely and avoid different products
contaminating each other.
Do not put packages and food in contact with the wall at the back of the appliance, this is a particularly
cold and damp area of the appliance and water droplets and frost condense there as part of your
refrigerator's normal operation.
The coldest area, indicated by the logo “OK”, is designed for delicate, sensitive and highly perishable
food: meat, poultry, fish, cooked meats, prepared dishes, ready-made salads, egg or cream-based dishes
and pastries, fresh pasta, pastry, pizza/quiches, fresh produce and raw milk cheese, ready- to-use
vegetables sold in plastic bags and, more generally, any fresh product whose consume-by date is linked
to its storage at a temperature of +4°C or below.
