CONSERVATION

• To maintain the best flavour, nourishment and freshness of foods, it is
advisable to store them in the refrigerator compartment as shown in Fig. 6
below, making sure to wrap them in aluminium or plastic sheets or in
appropriate covered containers to avoid cross-contamination.
Refrigerator zone
Fruit / Vegetables
• To decrease fruit and vegetable moisture losses they must be wrapped in
plastic materials such as, for example, films or bags and then inserted in
the fruit/vegetable zone. In this way rapid deterioration is avoided.
FRIDGE ZONE
Indicator of the temperature in the coldest zone
(not all models)
Some models are equipped with an indicator of the temperature in the
refrigerator compartment in the coldest zone, for you to be able to control
the average temperature.
This symbol indicates the coldest zone of the refrigerator (Fig. 5).
Check that on the indicator of the temperature, the word OK is clearly
shown (Fig. 6). If the word does not appear, this means that the tempera-
ture is too high: adjust the temperature to a cooler setting and wait for
about 10 hours.
Recheck the indicator: if necessary, proceed with a new adjustment.
NOTE:
If large quantities of food are inserted or the refrigerator door
frequently opened, it is normal for the indicator fails to show
OK. Wait at least 10 h before adjusting the knob to a higher
setting.

Place food on the shelves in a homogeneous manner to allow air to
circulate properly and to cool it.
• Avoid contact between the food and the far end walls of the refrigerator
compartment.
• Do not introduce hot foods as they can cause deterioration of existing
ones and increase energy consumption.
• Remove the wrappings of foods before inserting them.
• Do not put in dishes or other containers unless previously washed.
•Do not obstruct the cold air ventilator openings with food.
• Do not cover the glass shelf of the vegetable bin to allow for proper air
circulation.
• Do not store bottles in the freezer compartment as they can burst when
frozen.
• ln the case of prolonged power outage, keep the doors closed so that

foods remain cold as long as possible.
• The installation of the appliance in a hot and humid location, with frequent
door openings and storing large amounts of vegetables can cause the
formation of condensate and affect the performance of the unit itself.
• To prevent excessive energy consumption, the frequent or prolonged
opening of the doors is not recommended.
