Avoid contamination of food

compartments of the appliance.
•
Regularly clean surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage systems.
•
Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with
or drip onto other food.
•
If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and
leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
Storing fresh food in the refrigerator
Important recommendations for storing fresh food
•
To ensure the quality of fresh food, it is important that:
-
the food is well-packaged;
-
the appliance is at the correct temperature;
-
the appliance is clean.
•

•
Put food in the refrigerator in sealed containers or in suitable packaging. This will prevent the
food from picking up or spreading odours and will keep it dry.
