Hints for fresh food refrigeration
•
Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may
lead to shorter shelf life of food.
•
Cover the food with packaging to preserve its
freshness and aroma.
•
Always use closed containers for liquids and for
food, to avoid flavours or odours in the
compartment.
•
To avoid the cross-contamination between cooked
and raw food, cover the cooked food and separate it
from the raw one.
•
It is recommended to defrost the food inside the
fridge.
•
Do not insert hot food inside the appliance. Make
sure it has cooled down at room temperature before
inserting it.
•
To prevent food waste the new stock of food should
always be placed behind the old one.
