The NATURAFRESH 0°C compartment is al-
so suitable for slow thawing of food. In this
case the thawed food can be stored in the
NATURAFRESH 0°C compartment for up to
two days.
Tips:
• Pay attention to the freshness of the food,
especially on the expiry date. Quality and
freshness influence the storage time.
• The whole storage cycle time will depend
on the preservation conditions made prior
to the final storage in the fridge.
• Food, fruit or vegetables should always be
packed or wrapped up before storage.
• Animal food always store packed and dry.
• Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker.
This means seafood will spoil before fish
which in turn will spoil before meat. While
storing food in a NATURAFRESH 0°C
compartment storage time for that kind of
food can be increased by up to three times
as well without loss on quality.
• All food stored in a NATURAFRESH 0°C
compartment should be taken out of the
drawers roughly 15-30 min before con-
sumption, particularly fruit and vegetables
to be consumed without any additional
cooking process. Allowing fruit and vege-
tables to return to room temperature will
improve the texture and flavour.
HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS
Hints for energy saving
• Do not open the door frequently or leave it
open longer than absolutely necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and the
Temperature Regulator is set to low tem-
perature and the appliance is fully loaded,
the compressor may run continuously,
causing frost or ice on the evaporator. If
this happens, set the Temperature Regu-
lator toward warmer settings to allow au-
tomatic defrosting and so a saving in elec-
tricity consumption.
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporating liq-
uids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it
has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate freely
around it
Drawer
The wire shelves inside the drawers permit
that air can circulate freely and consequently
a better conservation of foods.
The compartment has stops to prevent the
drawers from falling out when fully extended.
To remove the drawers (e.g. for cleaning pur-
poses), pull them out as far as the stops, lift
and extract.. .
Hints for refrigeration
Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags and
place on the glass shelf above the vegetable
drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or two
days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these
should be covered and may be placed on any
shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be thor-
oughly cleaned and placed in the special
drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be placed
in special airtight containers or wrapped in
aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude
as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap and
should be stored in the bottle rack on the
door.
