The level of air humidity in the
drawers depends on the content
of humidity in the stored food,
vegetable and fruit and on the
frequency of door opening
The Longfresh 0°C compartment
is also suitable for slow thawing
of food. In this case the thawed
food can be stored in the Long-
fresh 0°C compartment for up to
two days.
Tips:
• Pay attention to the freshness of the
food, especially on the expiry date.
Quality and freshness influence the
storage time.
• The whole storage cycle time will de-
pend on the preservation conditions
made prior to the final storage in the
fridge.
• Food, fruit or vegetables should al-
ways be packed or wrapped up before
storage.

4. HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

4.1 Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or
leave it open longer than absolutely
necessary.
• If the ambient temperature is high and
the Temperature Regulator is set to
low temperature and the appliance is
fully loaded, the compressor may run
continuously, causing frost or ice on
the evaporator. If this happens, set the
Temperature Regulator toward warm-
er settings to allow automatic defrost-
ing and so a saving in electricity con-
sumption.
4.2 Hints for fresh food
refrigeration
To obtain the best performance:
• do not store warm food or evaporat-
ing liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly
if it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate
freely around it
• Animal food always store packed and
dry.
• Food rich in proteins will go bad
quicker. This means seafood will spoil
before fish which in turn will spoil be-
fore meat. While storing food in a 0°C
compartment storage time for that
kind of food can be increased by up to
three times as well without loss on
quality.
• All food stored in a 0°C compartment
should be taken out of the drawers
roughly 15-30 min before consump-
tion, particularly fruit and vegetables
to be consumed without any addition-
al cooking process. Allowing fruit and
vegetables to return to room tempera-
ture will improve the texture and fla-
vour.

4.3 Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:
Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene bags
and place on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer.
For safety, store in this way only one or
two days at the most.
Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc..: these
should be covered and may be placed
on any shelf.
Fruit and vegetables: these should be
thoroughly cleaned and placed in the
special drawer(s) provided.
Butter and cheese: these should be
placed in special airtight containers or
wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene
bags to exclude as much air as possible.
Milk bottles: these should have a cap
and should be stored in the bottle rack
on the door.
Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if
not packed, must not be kept in the re-
frigerator.
