Refrigerator compartment
Hints for fresh food refrigeration
• Cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a
strong flavour.
• Position the food so that air can circulate freely
around it.
• For best performance, leave enough space in
the refrigerator compartment for air to circulate
around the packages. Also leave enough room at
the front so the door can close tightly.
• Do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in
the refrigerator.
Freezer compartment
Hints for freezing fresh food
• The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24
hours is shown on the rating plate.
• When first starting-up or after a period out of use,
before putting the products in the compartment
let the appliance run for at least 2 hours on a
colder setting.
• Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food
which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in
temperature of the latter.
• Wrap food to protect it from any water, humidity
or condensation; this will prevent the spread of
any odours in the refrigerator, while also ensuring
better storage of frozen food.
• Lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones;
salt reduces the storage life of food.
• Never place warm food in the freezer. Cooling hot
foods before freezing saves energy and prolongs
the life of the appliance.
• Do not refreeze partially thawed food.
