Hints for refrigeration
To help you use your refrigerator correctly, here are
some useful hints:
¥
Cooked food, cold cuts, jelly, etc.: these should
be well covered and can be stored on any of the
glass shelves.
¥ Fruit & vegetables: these should be thoroughly
cleaned and placed in the bottom drawer.
¥ Butter & cheese: these should be placed in
special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium
foil or polythene bags to keep out as much air as
possible.
¥ Milk bottles: these should have a top and should
be stored in the bottle rack on the door.
¥ Raw meat (beef, pork, lamb & poultry): wrap in
polythene bags and place on top of the salad
compartment, this being the coldest spot in the
refrigerator.
Meat can only be stored safely in this way for
one or two days at the most.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not
packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Explanation of the cold zone signs
The symbol shown here on the left indicates the coldest point inside your refrigerator.
Coldest area: below or equal to +4¡C
Meat, poultry, fish, cold cuts, ready-to-eat meals, mixed salads, egg or cream based mixes and cakes, fresh
pasta, cake mixes, pizzas/quiches, fresh foods and fresh-milk cheeses, vegetables ready to be used and
packed in plastic bags and all other fresh foods whose expiry date is associated with a preservation
temperature below or equal to +4¡C.
Temperatur indicator
Thermostat must be adjusted Right Temperature
With the temperature indicator you can keep a check that your refrigerator is working properly to avoid the
proliferation of the Listeria bacteria.
The indicator shows the "OK" symbol when the coldest area reaches a temperature that is below or equal to
4¡C.
If the temperature is higher than 4¡C the indicator is black so you must adjust the thermostat to make the
temperature drop.
ATTENTION: Keeping the refrigerator door open for a long time will cause the internal temperature to rise. To
measure the temperature correctly, it should be read on the indicator within 30 seconds.
