5.2
Refrigeration
• Do not put hot food in the fridge. Wait
until it becomes cool.
• Do not put in the fridge liquids that
evaporate.
• Put all the food, that has a strong fla-
vour or odour, in containers.
• Make sure that there is air circulation
around the food.
• Put all types of meat in polythene bags.
Put them on the glass shelf above the
vegetable drawer. Do not keep the
meat in the fridge for more than 2 days.
• Put a cover on cooked food and cold
dishes and put them on one of the
shelves.
• Wash fruit and vegetables and put
them in the vegetable drawer.
• Put butter and cheese in special airtight
containers, aluminium foil or polythene
bags.
• Make sure that milk bottles have a cap
and put them in the bottle shelf on the
appliance door.
• Do not keep in the fridge bananas, po-
tatoes, onions and garlic that are with-
out packaging.
5.3
Freezing
• The rating plate gives the indication of
the maximum quantity of food that the
freezer can freeze in 24 hours.
• The freezing of the food is completed in
24 hours. Do not put other food in the
freezer during this time.
• Put the food in small quantities in the
freezer. This helps to freeze quickly the
food and to thaw only the necessary
quantity.
• Wrap the food in aluminium foil or put it
in polythene bags. Make sure that the
packaging is airtight.
• Do not put fresh food together with fro-
zen food. This to prevent the tempera-
ture of the frozen food to increase.
• The storage time for fat food is shorter
than for non-fat food or for low-fat food.
The salt decreases the storage time of
the food.
• We recommend that you write, on each
packaging, the date of when the food
was frozen.
5.4
Storage of the frozen food
• When you buy frozen food, make sure
that you put it in the freezer in a very
short time.
• When you thaw frozen food, you must
cook it in a very short time. It is not
possible to freeze again food that was
frozen before.
• Make sure that the use-by date is not
expired. You can find the information on
the packaging of the food.
