Using your Combi Fridge-Freezer

Getting the most from your appliance

Food Storage

Refrigerator Compartment

• 

To reduce humidity and avoid the 
consequent formation of frost, always store 
liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. 
Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest 
parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, 
your appliance will require more frequent 
defrosting.

• 

Never place warm food in the refrigerator. 
Warm food should be allowed to cool at 
room temperature and should be arranged 
to ensure adequate air circulation in the 
refrigerator compartment.

• 

Make sure no items are in direct contact with 
the rear wall of the appliance as frost will 
develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not 
open the refrigerator door frequently.

• 

We recommend that meat and clean fish 
are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass 
shelf just above the vegetable bin where the 
air is cooler, as this provides the best storage 
conditions.

• 

Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the 
crisper containers.

• 

Store loose fruit and vegetables in the crisper.

• 

Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps 
prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green 
leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected 
by ethylene-releaser fruits (banana, peach, 
apricot, fig etc.).

• 

Do not put wet vegetables into the 
refrigerator.

• 

Storage time for all food products depends 
on the initial quality of the food and an 
uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before 
refrigerator storage.

• 

To avoid cross-contamination do not store 
meat products with fruit and vegetables. 
Water leaking from meat may contaminate 
other products in the refrigerator. You should 
package meat products and clean any 
leakages on the shelves.

• 

Do not put food in front of the air flow 
passage.

• 

Consume packaged foods before the 
recommended expiry date.

• 

For normal working conditions, it will be 
sufficient to adjust the temperature setting of 
your refrigerator to +4 °C.

• 

The temperature of the fridge compartment 
should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh foods 
below 0 °C are iced and rotted, bacterial load 
increases above 8 °C, and spoils.

• 

Do not put hot food in the refrigerator 
immediately, wait for the temperature to pass 
outside. Hot foods increase the degree of 
your refrigerator and cause food poisoning 
and unnecessary spoiling of the food.

• 

Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the chiller 
compartment of the food, and the vegetable 
compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if 
available)

• 

To prevent cross contamination, meat 
products and fruit vegetables are not stored 
together.

• 

Foods should be placed in the refrigerator 
in closed containers or covered to prevent 
moisture and odors.
