Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
• Fresh food compartment is the one
marked (on the rating plate) with
• Good temperature setting that
ensures preservation of fresh food is a
temperature less than or equal to +4°C.
• Higher temperature setting inside the
appliance may lead to shorter shelf
life of food.
• Cover the food with packaging to
preserve its freshness and aroma.
• Always use closed containers for
liquids and for food, to avoid flavours
or odours in the compartment.
• To avoid the cross-contamination
between cooked and raw food, cover
the cooked food and separate it from
the raw one.
• It is recommended to defrost the food
inside the fridge.
• Do not insert hot food inside the
appliance. Make sure it has cooled
down at room temperature before
inserting it.
• To prevent food waste the new stock
of food should always be placed
behind the old one.

• Meat (all types): wrap in a suitable
packaging and place it on the glass
shelf above the vegetable drawer.
Store meat for at most 1-2 days.
• Fruit and vegetables: clean thoroughly
(eliminate the soil) and place in a
special drawer (vegetable drawer).
• It is advisable not to keep the exotic
fruits like bananas, mangos, papayas
etc. in the refrigerator.

thawing divide food into small
portions.

dates on all your frozen food. This
will help to identify foods and to know
when they should be used before their
deterioration.
• The food should be fresh when being
frozen to preserve good quality.
Especially fruits and vegetables
should be frozen after the harvest to
preserve all of their nutrients.
• Do not freeze bottles or cans with
liquids, in particular drinks containing
carbon dioxide - they may explode
during freezing.
• Do not put hot food in the freezer
compartment. Cool it down at room
temperature before placing it inside
the compartment.
• To avoid increase in temperature
of already frozen food, do not place
fresh unfrozen food directly next to it.
Place food at room temperature in the
part of the freezer compartment where
there is no frozen food.
• Do not eat ice cubes, water ices or ice
lollies immediately after taking them
out of the freezer. Risk of frostbites.
