PREPARING FOOD FOR THE REFRIGERATOR
Carefully wrap fresh foods: they will then keep their flavor, color, humidity content and freshness.
You also avoid 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 outside the appliance. Remove the cardboard packs from
around yoghurt pots. Check the consume-by dates on the products you have bought. You should
not exceed these.
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 the food items to allow the air to circulate freely and avoid 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, indicated by the logo "OK", is designed for delicate, sensitive and highly
perishable food: meat, poultry, 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 vegetables 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.
6. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Defrosting
Defrost
your appliance when frost is accumulated on the evaporator is about 2mm:
• Remove all contents from the appliance and unplug it.
• Leave the fridge door open to allow melting of the ice.
• Remove large pieces of ice if necessary with dishcloth or something that will not
damage the walls.
• Do not use hot water or other electric heaters to melt the accumulated ice.
• After defrosting, remove the accumulated ice / water and try the appliance with a
soft cloth.
• Restart the unit according to
instrument to scrape ice inside.
Cleaning inside the fridge
After defrosting you should clean the fridge internally with a weak solution of bicarbonate of
soda. Then rinse with warm water using a damp sponge or cloth and wipe dry. Wash the baskets
in warm soapy water and ensure they are completely dry before replacing in the fridge. Water
will flow into the defrost drain, it doesn't matter if the amount of water is not large, this water
arrives in the recovery tank located at the back and evaporates naturally.
Caution: Make sure that no pieces of food are clogging the defrost drain.
