Food storage instructions
Storage of fruit and vegetables
In the case of appliances with a cold compartment, a statement should be made to the effect that
some types of fresh fruit and vegetables are sensitive to cold and are therefore not suitable for storage
in this type of compartment.
Use of the FRIDGE compartment (if available)
This is the ideal place to store meat, sausage, fish, dairy products, eggs and cooked dishes, as well as
bread, pastries and bakery products.
Storing food in the refrigerator compartment
•
Preferably store food that is fresh and in perfect condition. In this way, they will retain their quality
and freshness for longer.
•
In the case of pre-cooked products or packaged foods, pay special attention to the best-before or
use-by dates indicated by the manufacturer.
•
It is also advisable to wrap or cover food well before placing it in the refrigerator so that it
retains its aroma, colour and flavour. This also prevents flavour transfer from one food to another or
discolouration of plastic parts in the refrigerator compartment.
•
Allow hot food or beverages to cool to room temperature before placing them in the refrigerator
compartment.
Note: Do not obstruct or block the air outlet openings with foodstuffs to allow free circulation of air. Food
placed in the vicinity of the air outlet openings may freeze as a result of the cold air coming out of the air
outlet openings.
WARNING! Depending on the air circulation inside the refrigerator compartment, different cooling
zones are created in the refrigerator compartment:
•
The coldest areas are located in front of the air outlet openings. Store the most delicate foods (fish,
sausages, meat) in the coldest zones.
•
The least cold zone is located in the upper part of the back door. It is advisable to store cured
cheese and butter, for example, in this zone. In this way the aged cheese can release its aroma and
the butter will be easier to spread on bread.
Use of the FREEZER (if available)
The freezer compartment is suitable for storing deep-frozen products, preparing and storing ice cubes
and freezing fresh food.
Note: Always make sure that the freezer door is closed and sealed completely. If it is not properly closed,
food may thaw. Heavy frost build-up occurs in the freezer compartment.
Maximum freezing capacity
The indications regarding the freezing capacity in 24 hours are given on the rating plate of the
appliance. The maximum freezing capacity in 24 hours is given on the rating plate of the appliance.
Pay special attention:
•
When shopping, remember that it is best to buy frozen food at the last minute. Try to transport them
directly home wrapped in an insulated bag. Once at home, you should immediately place them in
the freezer compartment.
•
Try to place large quantities of food in the top drawer, as they freeze more quickly.
•
Arrange the food with sufficient space between them to ensure proper air circulation.
•
Frozen products must not come into contact with fresh food.
