Fresh food storage
The fridge compartment (at the right side of the appliance) is suitable for short-term
storage of all your fresh food.
Instructions (Cont.)
Fresh food storage tips
• In order to maintain good
cooling efficiency and save energy, do not open the doors
for too long or too often.
• Do not overload the fridge, and keep enough space around items for cold airflow.
Do not block ventilation openings. Do not place items directly against the back wall.
• Let hot food cool down to room temperature before storing them in the fridge.
Otherwise the cooling capacity will be affected and power consumption increased.
Hot items may also affect the plastic parts inside the appliance.
• If necessary, wipe containers clean and dry before storage in the refrigerator.
• Thaw frozen foods in the fridge compartment to ensure safety and save energy.
• Use sealed containers or storage bags to prevent food from drying out, losing its
taste or taking on aromas from other foods.
• Cover cooked foods and store them on any shelf in the fridge compartment.
• Store butter and cheese in airtight containers, or wrap them thoroughly.
• Make sure milk bottles are properly closed before storage on a door balcony.
• Do not keep bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic in the refrigerator.

• The
temperature
inside the fridge compartment varies
depending on the amount of food stored and the
frequency of door opening. It is low enough to limit
some bacterial growth, but it is not suitable for long-
term storage of perishable foods.
• The walls of the fridge are equipped with a series of
runners so that the
glass shelves
can be positioned to
suit individual storage requirements (Fig. 11).
• The
crisper
provides a short-term storage space for
fresh fruit and vegetables.
• The
door balconies
are suitable for storage of food
and drink bottles, cans and jars. The balconies can
be placed at different heights to allow for storage of
different size food packages. To adjust the position
of a door balcony, gradually pull it upwards (in arrow
direction) until it comes free, then reposition it as
required (Fig. 12).
