Storing into the refrigerator compartment
• Keep your fridge temperature below 5°C.
• Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the appliance.
• Foods stored in the refrigerator should be washed and dried before storing.
• Food to be stored should be properly sealed to avoid odor or taste alterations.
• Do not store excessive quantities of food. Leave spaces between foods to allow
cold air flowing around them, for a better and more homogeneous cooling.
• Foods eaten daily should be stored at the front of the shelf.
• Leave a gap between foods and the inner walls, allowing air flowing. In any way,
don't store foods against the rear wall: foods could freeze against the rear wall.
Avoid direct contact of food (especially oily or acidic food) with the inner liner, as
oil/acid can erode the inner liner. Clean away oily/acid dirt whenever it is found.
• Frozen food can be gently defrizzed in the refrigerator compartment. This
saves energy.
• The ageing process of fruit and vegetables such as courgettis, melons, papaya,
bananas, pineapples, etc. can be accelerated in the refrigerator. Therefore, it is
not recommended to store them in the refrigerator. However, the ripening of
strongly green fruits can be promoted for a certain period. Onions, garlic, ginger
and other root vegetables should also be stored at room temperature.
• Unpleasant odours inside the fridge are a sign that something has spilled and
cleaning is required. See Care And Cleaning.
• Different foods should be placed in different areas according to their properties.
Storage into the freezer compartment
• Keep the freezer temperature at- 18°C.
• 24 hours before freezing, switch on the Super-Freeze function. For little
quantities of food, 4-6 hours are sufficient.
• Hot food must be cooled to room temperature before storing in the freezer
compartment.
• Food cut into small portions will freeze faster and be easier to defrost and cook.
The recommended weight for each portion is less than 2.5 kg
• It is better to pack food before putting it into the freezer. The outside of the
packaging must be dry to avoid bags sticking together. Packaging materials
should be odour-free, airtight, non-poisonous and nontoxic.
• In order to avoid expiration of storage periods, please note the freezing date,
time limit and name of the food on the packaging according to the storage
periods of different foods.
