Food storage
Refrigerator compartment
• To decrease the level of humidity and prevent frost from forming, store food in the
refrigerator in closed containers. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts where food
moisture evaporates, and over time your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
• All cooked dishes should be covered when stored in the refrigerator. Do not place hot
food in the refrigerator. Wait until food has cooled, as the increased temperature and
humidity could cause the refrigerator to malfunction.
• Ensure that no items stored in the fridge are in direct contact with the rear wall of the
appliance as frost may form and the packaging may stick to the rear wall. Do not open
the refrigerator door frequently.
• Meat and gutted fish should be placed in a sealed container on the glass shelf just above
the vegetable crisper, where cooler air provides optimal conservation conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.
• Store fruit and vegetables separately to prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (greens,
broccoli, carrots, etc.) being spoiled by fruits which release ethylene (bananas, peaches,
apricots, figs, etc.).
• Do not place vegetables in the refrigerator if they are damp.
• The shelf life of all food items depends on their initial quality and on whether the
refrigeration cycle was uninterrupted before they were placed in the refrigerator.
• Water dripping from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. Meat
products should be wrapped and any spillage on shelves should be cleaned.
• Take care not to place any food which might obstruct the airflow.
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date.
Avoid touching the temperature sensor in the refrigerator compartment. To maintain an
optimal storage temperature inside the refrigerator compartment, do not allow food to
come into contact with the temperature sensor.
• In normal conditions, simply set your refrigerator temperature to +4°C.
• The temperature of the refrigerator compartment should be between 0 and 8°C. Fresh foods
below 0°C will freeze and rot, bacterial load increases above 8°C and food deteriorates.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, keep them outside until their
temperature drops. Hot food increase the temperature in the refrigerator and can thus
cause food poisoning or unnecessary food damage.
