Cooked foods must be cooled to ambient temperature before they are placed in the refrigerator.
We recommend placing food in sealed containers before storing them in the fridge.
Never place food right next to the air outlet as this could impede the airflow and freeze the food.
Never place volatile, inflammable or explosive liquids like solvents, alcohol, acetone or petrol in
the fridge. There is an explosion hazard.
Never leave the door open longer than necessary.
Hints for refrigeration
Meat (all types) must be wrapped in sealed polyethylene bags and placed on the glass shelf
above the crisper.
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
provided.
Butter and cheese should be placed in special sealed containers, wrapped in aluminium foil
or placed in a sealed bag.
Milk bottles should be capped and stored in the bottle rack in the door.
To save energy, all of the door shelves and glass shelves should be fitted in their designed
location.
Ice cubes
This appliance can accept one or more ice cube trays for making ice cubes.
Freezing tips (depending on model)
To help you optimise the freezing process, here are some important tips:
The maximum amount of food that you can freeze every 24 hours can be found on the ID
plate.
The freezing process takes 24 hours. Do not add any more food to freeze during this time.
Only freeze good quality, fresh and properly washed food.
Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to
make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required.
Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight.
Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid raising
their temperature.
Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, may
cause frost burns to the skin.
We recommend labelling and dating each frozen package.
To obtain ice cubes faster, we recommend placing the ice cube trays in the top drawer.
Thawing food
Before eating, frozen or deep frozen food may be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at
ambient temperature, depending on the time available.
