Tips on storing food
Freezer compartment
• The freezer is designed for the storage of food frozen at very low temperature,
long-term storage of frozen food, and to produce ice.
• Only use the shelves in the door of the freezer to store frozen food, not for storing
hot food designated for freezing.
• Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each other. The frozen food may thaw.
• When freezing fresh food like meat, fish or fruits and vegetables, cut them into small
portions.
• Storing frozen food: instructions are usually stated on the packages, which must be
followed. If there is no information on the packaging, food should not be stored for
longer than three months from the date of purchase.
• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it is frozen at a recommended
temperature and that the packaging is not damaged.
• Frozen food should be kept in airtight packages to retain the quality and should be
returned to the freezer compartment as soon as possible.
• If a package of frozen food shows moisture or abnormal bulging, it is probable that
it was stored at the wrong temperature and the content is spoiled.
• The storage period for frozen food depends on the room temperature, the
EN
thermostat setting, the frequency of opening the door of the freezer, the type of
food and the time of transporting the product from the shop to the household.
Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the
maximum storage time stated on the package.
Cooling compartment
• To reduce moisture and subsequent ice build-up, never put liquid into the
refrigerator in unsealed containers. Frost tends to concentrate in the coolest parts
of the evaporator. Storing uncovered liquids results in a more frequent need for
defrosting.
• Never put warm foods in the refrigerator. These should first cool down at room
temperature and then be placed in the fridge to ensure adequate air circulation in
the refrigerator.
• Foods or food containers should not touch the back wall of the refrigerator because
they could freeze to the wall. Do not regularly open the door of the refrigerator.
• Meat and clean fish (packed in a package or plastic foil) can be placed in the
refrigerator, which can be used in 1–2 days.
• Fruit and vegetables without packaging can be placed in the fresh fruit and
vegetables compartment.
ATTENTION
The optimal temperature setting of each compartment depends on the ambient temperature.
The above optimal temperature is based on the ambient temperature of 25 °C.
