5. INSTRUCTIONS ON FOOD STORAGE
Use precautions
-
The appliance may not operate consistently (there may be some defrosting of the contents,
or the temperature may become too hot) if placed in locations with a temperature outside
of the temperature range for which the refrigerator is designed for a long period of time.
-
Information on the climatic class of the appliance can be found in the Technical
Specifications section and on the appliance marking.
-
The internal temperature may be affected by factors such as the location of the appliance,
room temperature, door opening frequency, etc., and you should take these factors into
account if you decide to use any temperature-control devices.
-
It is not recommended to store liquids in glass containers or soft drink cans in the storage
compartment.
Food location
-
Due to the circulation of cold air in the refrigerator, the temperature in each zone is
different, so food must be placed in different zones.
The refrigerator compartment is suitable to store food that does not need to be frozen,
-
cooked food, beer, eggs, some seasonings that need to be kept cold, milk, fruit juice, etc.
-
The freezer compartment is suitable to store ice cream, frozen foods, and foods that need
to be kept for a long time.
Leave enough space around the food to allow air to circulate freely.
-
Shelves
To remove the shelf, first lift it up and then pull it out; to refit it, put it back in position before
lowering it. Keep the rear edge of the shelf facing upwards to prevent food from coming into
contact with the wall.
Tips for frozen food
When buying frozen food, pay attention to the storage instructions on the package. You
-
may store each frozen food for the period indicated in the star rating. This is usually the
period indicated as "best before" on the front of the package.
-
Make sure that the packaging of frozen food is in perfect condition.
Do not buy frozen foods unless you can freeze them immediately. Special insulated bags
-
are available in most supermarkets and department stores. In them, frozen food is kept
cold for a longer period of time.
-
Some foods do not require defrosting before cooking. Vegetables and pasta can be added
directly to boiling water or steamed. Frozen sauces and soups can be placed in a pan and
heated gently until thawed.
-
Use quality foods and alter them as little as possible. When food is frozen in small
quantities, it takes less time to freeze and thaw.

-
Calculate the amount of food to be frozen. When freezing large quantities of fresh food, set
the temperature knob to a lower freezing temperature. This way food can be frozen quickly
maintaining its freshness.
Before freezing, wrap and seal the food with aluminium foil, film, freezer bags, airtight
-
containers, etc.
-
It is recommended to put date labels on all frozen foods.
-
Food must be fresh when frozen in order to retain its properties.
Do not freeze bottles, cans with liquids or in particular beverages containing carbon
-
dioxide, as they may explode when frozen.
-
Never put hot food inside the freezer.
-
Do not eat ice cubes, ice cream or ice lollies immediately after taking them out of the
freezer. Risk of frostbite.
-
Defrosted food cannot be refrozen. If a food has thawed, cook it, and refreeze it when it
cools down.
Care for food storage
-
Clean and dry food completely before storing it in the refrigerator. Before introducing food
in the refrigerator, it is advisable to seal it to prevent water evaporation and thus keep fruit
and vegetables fresh on the one hand, and to prevent odours on the other.
Do not put too much or too heavy food in the refrigerator. Leave enough space between
-
the food; if they are too close together, they will block the flow of cold air, which will affect
the cooling effect. Do not store too much or too heavy food to prevent the shelves from
bending. When storing food, leave a distance from the interior wall; do not place water-
rich food too close to the inner wall of the refrigerator to prevent it from freezing on the
interior wall.
Storing food by category
Place daily food items at the front of the shelf so as to reduce the door opening time and avoid
food spoilage due to expiry.
Energy-saving tips
Let hot food cool down to room temperature before putting it in the refrigerator. Place frozen
food in the refrigeration compartment to defrost them; you can use the low temperature of the
frozen food to cool the fresh food to save energy.
Storing fruits, vegetables, and fresh food
-
Please note that some types of fresh vegetables and fruits are sensitive to cold and
therefore not suitable for storage in the refrigerator crisper drawer or in the freezer
compartment.
Only use the crisper drawer specifically designed for storing fruits and vegetables.
-
-
It is not advisable to store exotic fruits like bananas, mangoes, papayas, etc., as well as
