USE
The combination of drawers, baskets and shelves that result in the
most efficient use of energy for the appliance is the default configura-
tion after you open the package.
FOOD CONSERVATION
▶ Carefully wrap fresh foods to ensure that they keep their flavor,
color, moisture and freshness. This also prevents the taste of some
foods contaminating the taste of others. Only vegetables, fruit and
salad vegetables can be stored in the vegetable compartment
without being packed. Let hot dishes and drinks cool down out-
side the appliance. Remove the cardboard packs from around yo-
ghurt pots. Check the consume-by dates on the products you have
bought.
▶ Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator,
so that it is not in contact with and cannot drip onto other food.
ARRANGING FOOD IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR
▶ The temperature inside your refrigerator is not uniform. Some
areas are colder than others, and you must store your food in the
appropriate areas according to their type to ensure that they can
be kept safely.
▶ Leave a space between food items to allow the air to circulate
freely and prevent different products contaminating each other.
▶ Do not put packages and food in contact with the wall at the back
of the appliance; this is a particularly cold and damp area of the
appliance and water droplets and frost condense there as part of
your refrigerator's normal operation.
▶ The coldest area, at the bottom of the fridge, is designed for de-
licate, sensitive and highly perishable food such as meat, poul-
try, fish, cooked meats, prepared dishes, ready-made salads, egg
or cream based dishes and pastries, fresh pasta, pastry, pizza/
quiches, fresh produce and raw milk cheese, ready-to-use vege-
tables sold in plastic bags and, more generally, any fresh product
whose consume-by date is linked to its storage at a temperature
of +4°C or below.
The following symbol shows the coolest zone in the
refrigerator. This zone is between the fruit and vege-
table glass shelf and the symbol, or the shelf located
at the same height. To guarantee temperatures in this
zone, do not modify the positioning of the shelves.
