Refrigerator Compartment
The refrigerator compartment is used for storing fresh food for few days.
• Do not place food in directly in contact with the rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
Leave some space around the food to allow air to circulate.
• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in the refrigerator.
• Always make sure food is wrapped or stored in closed containers before placing in the
refrigerator.
• To reduce humidity and avoid formation of frost, never place liquids in unsealed containers in the
refrigerator.
• We recommend that you loosely wrap meat and store it on the glass shelf just above the
vegetable bin, where the air is cooler.
• Store fruit and vegetable items loose in the crisper containers.
• To prevent the cold air from escaping, try not to open the door too often and do not leave it
open for a long time.
Freezer Compartment
The freezer compartment is used for freezing fresh food and for storing frozen food for the period of
time indicated on packaging and for making ice cubes.
• When freezing fresh food, wrap and seal the food properly; that is the packaging should be air
tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil (heavy grade, if in doubt double
wrap), polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.
• Do not allow the fresh food to come into contact with the 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 to slow down the
temperature rise within the freezer compartment.
• The maximum amount of fresh food that can be stored 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.
• The storage time and the recommended temperature for storing frozen food is indicated on
the packaging. For storing and using, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If no information is
provided, food should not be stored for more than 3 months.
• Place frozen food in the freezer compartment as soon as possible after buying it.
• Once the food has thawed, it must not be refrozen. You must cook it as quickly as possible. In
order to consume or to freeze once again.
