in the freezer with all relevant information such as type of food, freezing date and use-by date.
Do not put food inside the freezer compartments unless it has been properly packed.
– The time required to freeze food may be shortened by dividing it into smaller portions.
– Do not attempt to deep-freeze carbonated beverages, warm food or any kind of bottled liquids.
– Frozen food can be defrosted in the refrigerator. This way, the food is defrosted at a slower rate,
retaining its taste. Furthermore, the frozen food helps to keep the temperature inside the
refrigerator at its intended level.
Use-by dates for frozen food are specified (in months) in the table below. Do not exceed these
storage times. Always observe the information provided by the manufacturer of the product in
question.
– The storage time will decrease if the internal temperature has increased, e.g. as a result of a
malfunction.
Refrigeration cabinet
– The temperature inside the refrigerator depends mainly on the ambient temperature, the
temperature control setting and the amount of food stored.
– Initially, the temperature control should be set to position
lower it to position 1-3; if it is insufficient, raise it to 4-8.
If you notice frost on the rear wall, the most likely cause is that the door has been left open
for too long, or that warm food has been placed inside the refrigerator or that the
temperature control has been set too high.
– Liquid or strong-smelling food, or food which is likely to absorb strong odours (e.g. cheese, fish,
butter), should be stored separately or in hermetically sealed containers. Do not store bananas
inside the fridge, as they are sensitive to cold.
– Warm food should be left to cool down to room temperature before being placed in the
refrigerator.
– Because of the way the air circulates, the different areas of the refrigerator cabinet are affected
differently.
The coldest area is around the rear wall and in the lower part of the cabinet, and is most suitable
for storing delicate food such as fish, cooked or fresh meats or cold-cuts.
The warmer area is around the door and in the higher part of the cabinet, and is suitable for
storing cheese, butter and similar items. In this way, the cheese will keep its flavour, and the
butter will remain spreadable.
– Always ensure that the door is properly closed and that the seal is not obstructed by food stored
inside the cabinet or door.
