IMPORTANT WARNINGS REGARDING FOOD STORAGE
Correct use of the appliance, appropriate packaging, maintaining
the right temperature, and observing the food hygiene standards
has a decisive impact on the quality of food storage.
Observe the expiry dates for the food, specified on the
packaging.
Food stored in the refrigerator should be kept in closed
containers or appropriate packaging to prevent them from
emitting or receiving odours.
Do not store inflammable, volatile, and explosive substances in
the refrigerator.
Bottles with high alcohol content should be tightly sealed and
stored in an upright position.
Some organic solutions, essential oils in lemon and orange peel,
butter acid, etc. may damage the plastic surfaces in case of a
prolonged contact, causing damage and premature ageing of
these materials.
Unpleasant odour warns of lacking cleanliness of the appliance or
perished contents (see Cleaning the Appliance).
If you are leaving home for a longer period of time, remove
perishables from the refrigerator.
STORING INDUSTRIALLY FROZEN FOOD
• When storing and using frozen food, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Temperature and expiry date are indicated on the packaging.
• Only choose food with undamaged packaging, stored in freezers at temperatures of
–18 °C or lower.
• Do not purchase food covered in frost as this indicates it has been partly thawed several
times and that it is of inferior quality.
• Protect the food from thawing during transport. In case of an increase in temperature,
storage time will be shorter and quality will deteriorate.
