4 FOOD STORAGE
4.1 Refrigerator Compartment
For normal operating conditions, set the
temperature of the cooler compartment to
+4 or +6 C.
o
• To reduce humidity and avoid the
consequent formation of frost, always
store liquids in sealed containers in the
refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate
in the coldest parts of the evaporating
liquid and, in time, your appliance will
require more frequent defrosting.
• Never place warm food in the
refrigerator. Warm food should be
allowed to cool at room temperature
and should be arranged to ensure
adequate air circulation in the
refrigerator compartment.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact
with the rear wall of the appliance as
frost will develop and packaging will
stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator
door frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean
fish are loosely wrapped and stored on
the glass shelf just above the vegetable
bin where the air is cooler, as this
provides the best storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in
the crisper containers.
• Store loose fruit and vegetables in the
crisper.
Storing fruit and vegetables separately
•
helps prevent ethylene-sensitive
vegetables (green leaves, broccoli,
carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylene-
releaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot,
fig etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the
refrigerator.
Storage time for all food products
•
depends on the initial quality of the
food and an uninterrupted refrigera-
tion cycle before refrigerator storage.
• To avoid cross-contamination do not
store meat products with fruit and
vegetables. Water leaking from meat
may contaminate other products in the
refrigerator. You should package meat
products and clean any leakages on the
shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air flow
passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the
recommended expiry date.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic
should not be stored in the refrigerator.
• For normal working conditions, it will
be sufficient to adjust the temperature
setting of your refrigerator to +4 °C.
• The temperature of the fridge
compartment should be in the range
of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C are iced
and rotted, bacterial load increases
above 8 °C, and spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator
immediately, wait for the temperature
to pass outside. Hot foods increase the
degree of your refrigerator and cause
food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling
of the food.
• Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the
chiller compartment of the food, and the
vegetable compartment is preferred for
vegetables. (if available)
• To prevent cross contamination, meat
products and fruit vegetables are not
stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the
refrigerator in closed containers or
covered to prevent moisture and odors.
