4 FOOD STORAGE

4.1 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.

NOTE

: Potatoes, onions and garlic 

should not be stored in the refrigerator.

4.2 Freezer Compartment

• 

The freezer is used for storing frozen 

food, freezing fresh food, and making 

ice cubes.

• 

To freeze fresh food, ensure that as 

much of the surface of the food as 

possible is in contact with the cooling 

surface.

• 

Do not store fresh food next to frozen 

food as it can thaw the frozen food.

• Before freezing fresh food, divide it
