FOOD STORAGE
To get the most out of the appliance, please
read carefully the following tips on food
placement:
• SThere should always be space between
foods to facilitate air circulation.
• Food should be kept in an airtight
package to prevent it from drying or
having a bad odor.
• Hot food must be cooled before being
placed in the fridge. Otherwise, the
temperature and therefore the power
consumption will increase.
• Vegetables should be placed in the
fridge's drawers. Never freeze fresh
fruits and vegetables, as they will be
unfit for consumption after thawing.
• Reducing the frequency of the door
being opened can efficiently reduce
electricity consumption.
• Place fresh foods, such as fish or meat,
in the fridge to preserve their flavor and
nutrients.
• Food should be frozen in aluminum
foil, transparent kitchen paper or in an
airtight container.
• Do not put fresh food directly in contact
with already frozen food.
• If you buy frozen foods, take them home
and place them in the freezer as quickly
as possible.
• Never refreeze a defrosted product.
• Do not store liquids in bottles or cans,
except for high-proof drinks. Avoid
storing carbonated drinks in the freezer,
as they will burst during freezing.
Fresh food care:
• Store foods that are fresh and of good
quality. Make sure foods are tightly
wrapped or covered before storing. This
will prevent food from dehydration,
spoilage or loss of flavor and help
maintain freshness. It will also prevent
odor transfer. It is not necessary to wrap
vegetables and fruit if they are stored in
the crisper drawer of the fridge.
• Make sure foods that give off a strong
odor are wrapped or covered properly
and placed away from foods such as
butter or milk that may be contaminated
by such strong odors.
• Allow hot foods to cool down before
placing them in the fridge.
Dairy foods and eggs
• Most prepackaged dairy products have
a "use by /best before/best by/ date"
recommendation stamped on them.
Store them in the fridge and consume
them within the recommended time.
• Butter can be contaminated with
strong-smelling foods, so it is best to
store it in a sealed container.
• Eggs should be stored in the fridge..
Red meat
• Place fresh red meat on a plate and
wrap it with cling film or aluminum
foil.
• Store cooked and raw meat in separate
dishes. This will prevent any fluids
from the raw meat from contaminating
the cooked meat.
Poultry
• Completely fresh poultry should be
washed inside and out with cold water,
dried and placed on a plate. Wrap them
in cling film or aluminum foil.
• Poultry pieces should also be stored
in this manner. Whole poultry should
never be stuffed until the moment
before it is cooked, otherwise the food
will lose quality.
Fish and seafood
• Whole fish or fish fillets should be eaten
the same day they are purchased. Until
you are going to cook them, place them
on a plate covered with plastic film or
aluminum foil.
• If you are going to store fish for a long
time, you should buy fresh fish. Whole
fish should be washed with cold water
to remove loose scales and dirt and then
dried with kitchen paper. Store whole
fish or fillets in a sealed plastic bag.
• Keep seafood refrigerated at all times.
They should be consumed within 1 - 2
