or liquids in the fridge.
Recommended storage periods
For recommended food storage time, refer to the information given on your food packaging.
5.3. FREEZING FRESH FOOD
• The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-
frozen food for a long time.
• Place the fresh food to be frozen in the freezer compartment.
• The freezing process lasts 24 hours. During this period, do not add other food to be frozen.
5.4. STORING FROZEN FOOD
When first starting-up or after a period out of use, before putting the product in the compartment
let the appliance run at least 2 hours on a higher setting.
WARNING: In the event of accidental defrosting, for example the power has been off for longer
than the temperature rise time shown on the rating plate of the appliance, the defrosted food must
be consumed quickly or cooked immediately and then re-frozen (after being cooked).
5.5. THAWING FOOD
Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to be used, can be thawed in the fridge compartment or at
room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation. Small pieces may even be
cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer. In this case, cooking will take longer. Follow the food
manufacturer's instructions on the packaging.
WARNING: Thawed foods cannot be re-frozen. Consume quickly.
5.6. TIPS FOR FOOD STORAGE
■ Cooked meats/fishes should be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid bacterial
transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect juices and
cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf.
■ Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the unit. Ensure all parts of the
unit are kept cool.
■ To prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and
vegetables do not need to be wrapped.
■ Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain
the internal temperature of the unit.
■ To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the door.
We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out.
5.7. ENERGY SAVING TIPS
■ The appliance should be located in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing
appliances or heating ducts, and out of the direct sunlight.
■ Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing in the appliance. Overloading the
appliance forces the compressor to run longer. Foods that cooled too slowly may lose
quality, or spoil.
■ Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry before placing them in the
appliance. This cuts down on frost build-up inside the appliance.
■ Appliance storage bin should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper towel.
Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the appliance less efficient.
■ Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many
items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as possible.
■ The combination of the drawers, baskets and shelves shown in the device description figure
is optimal for efficient energy savings. Changing the combination proposition could alter the
efficiency.
■ Try not to open the door too often, especially when the weather is wet and hot. Once you
open the door, close it as soon as poss ble.
■ Every now and then check if the appliance is sufficiently ventilated (adequate air circulation
behind the appliance).
