Advise:
Your refrigerator's internal temperature is closely linked to the ambient temperature, how frequently
the door is opened and the amount and temperature of the food you have put in your refrigerator. You
must therefore check the temperature indicator regularly and adjust the setting if necessary, as
explained above.
PREPARING FOOD FOR THE REFRIGERATOR
Carefully wrap fresh foods: they will then keep their flavor, color, humidity content and freshness. You also
avoid the taste of some foods contaminating the taste of others. Only vegetables, fruit and salad vegetables
can be stored in the vegetable compartment without being packed. Let hot dishes and drinks cool down
outside the appliance. Remove the cardboard packs from around yoghurt pots. Check the consume-by dates
on the products you have bought. You should not exceed these.
ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR
The temperature inside your refrigerator is not uniform. Some areas are colder than others and you must store
your food in the appropriate areas according to their type to ensure that they can be kept safely.
Leave a space between the food items to allow the air to circulate freely and avoid different products
contaminating each other.
Do not put packages and food in contact with the wall at the back of the appliance, this is a particularly cold
and damp area of the appliance and water droplets and frost condense there as part of your refrigerator's
normal operation.
The coldest area, indicated by the logo, is designed for delicate, sensitive and highly perishable food: meat,
poultry, fish, cooked meats, prepared dishes, ready-made salads, egg or cream based dishes and pastries,
fresh pasta, pastry, pizza/quiches, fresh produce and raw milk cheese, ready-to-use vegetables sold in plastic
bags and, more generally, any fresh product whose consume-by date is linked to its storage at a temperature
of +4°C or below.
AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING
The refrigerator section of your appliance defrosts fully automatically.
The water created by defrosting flows to a collection tank situated over the motor.
The heat the motor releases evaporates the contents of this tank. It is quite normal for droplets of water or frost
to appear on the wall at the back of your refrigerator. This is a particularly cold and damp area in your
appliance and water droplets and frost condense out as part of your appliance's normal operation. This frost is
removed regularly during your refrigerator's automatic defrosting phases.
5° USING THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT
FROZEN AND DEEP- FROZEN FOOD
Your domestic appliance enables you to store deep frozen food.
Deep-freezing is an industrial process that is quicker and more intense that domestic freezing. The products
you purchase from the shops are deep-frozen.
Attention:
Do not place bottles or jars containing liquids in the freezer unless they are only two-thirds full:
freezing causes liquids to expand, which can cause the container to explode.
