RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE AND IMPLEMENTING
PRINCIPLES OF FOOD HYGIENE.
Proper use of the refrigerator and respect for hygienic principles will significantly improve
the quality of food preservation.
Temperature Control
Place the most delicate foods in the coldest part of the refrigerator, generally right above
the fruit and vegetable crisper.
Cooked foods should be stored in air-tight containers, left to cool off, and then placed in
the middle of the refrigerator.
Fruits and vegetables are placed in the crisper drawers at the bottom of the refrigerator.
Implementing Food Hygiene Principles
Remove wrapping before placing food in the refrigerator.
Packaging fresh food helps them last longer and keeps them from contaminating one
another.
Place foods in such a way that air can circulate freely inside the refrigerator.
Clean the inside of the refrigerator frequently using a mild detergent which has some anti-
bacterial power.
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
Packaging and waste treatment
After unpacking the appliance, do not throw the packaging in the garbage but separate
the various materials (such as styrofoam, cardboard, etc.) according to the local regula-
tions and procedures for waste disposal.
Important
This appliance has been produced without CFCs. The refrigerating circuit contains HFC R
134a fluid, or alternatively, R 600 a isobutane gas. For further details, look at the serial
number plate on the appliance.
When cleaning the appliance, use only the materials and the procedure specified in the
section dealing with cleaning. Otherwise the appliance may be damaged.
For appliance with isobutane (R 600 a)
Isobutane is a natural gas that does not harm the environment. Isobutane is, however,
flammable. You must therefore ensure that:
- when the appliance is installed there is more than 3 cubic metres of air around it;
- the appliance's ventilation vents are kept unobstructed and clean;
- the appliance's refrigerating circuit is damaged neither internally, through the use of sharp
or pointed objects nor externally because the condenser unit was incorrectly cleaned.
At the end of the appliance's working life it must be stored securely before being disposed
of. For information on proper disposal of the appliance, consult your retailer or the local
authority responsible for disposal.
REFRIGERATION COMPARTMENT
For perfect storage of food (flavour, freshness and texture), it is recommended to wrap
different flavoured food in aluminium foil, cling film or in sealed plastic containers. This will
also prevent tainting of flavours.
For better results ensure that the food is stored as follows:
Meats, fish etc. on the shelf just above the salad crisper.
