The 0°C compartment is also suitable for
slow thawing of food. In this case the
thawed food can be stored in the 0°C com-
partment for up to two days.
Tips:
• Pay attention to the freshness of the
food, especially on the expiry date. Quali-
ty and freshness influence the storage
time.
• The whole storage cycle time will depend
on the preservation conditions made pri-
or to the final storage in the fridge.
• Food, fruit or vegetables should always
be packed or wrapped up before storage.
• Animal food always store packed and dry.
• Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker.
This means seafood will spoil before fish
which in turn will spoil before meat. While
storing food in a 0°C compartment stor-
age time for that kind of food can be in-
creased by up to three times as well with-
out loss on quality.
• All food stored in a 0°C compartment
should be taken out of the drawers rough-
ly 15-30 min before consumption, partic-
ularly fruit and vegetables to be con-
sumed without any additional cooking
process. Allowing fruit and vegetables to
return to room temperature will improve
the texture and flavour.

Helpful hints and tips

Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave
it open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the Temperature Regulator is set to low
temperature and the appliance is fully loa-
ded, the compressor may run continuous-
ly, causing frost or ice on the evaporator.
If this happens, set the Temperature Reg-
ulator toward warmer settings to allow au-
tomatic defrosting and so a saving in elec-
tricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liq-
uids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it
has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate free-
ly around it
Drawer
The wire shelves inside the drawers permit
that air can circulate freely and consequent-
ly a better conservation of foods.
The compartment has stops to prevent the
drawers from falling out when fully extended.
To remove the drawers (e.g. for cleaning pur-
poses), pull them out as far as the stops, lift
and extract.. .
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelf above the veg-
etable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two
days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these
should be covered and may be placed on
any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thor-
oughly cleaned and placed in the special
drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed
in special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude
as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
