USING YOUR REFRIGERATOR FREEZER
Before placing food in the appliance
Remove all packaging.
Allow the appliance to run empty for 2 – 3 hours so the compartment can cool to the appropriate
temperature.
Clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and a little liquid detergent to remove
manufacturing and transportation dust.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
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 place hot food inside the appliance. Make sure it has cooled down at room temperature
before placing it inside the appliance.
