CARING FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR
•
We recommend storing food in containers with lids, wrapped in or stored in airtight
materials such as aluminum foil, plastic containers, or plastic wrap.
•
Do not store hot foods in the fresh food compartment or freezer. You should wait until
they have cooled down to room temperature.
•
Only open the doors for the time necessary to store or remove food items or drinks. By
doing this you will reduce energy consumption and improve the performance of your
refrigerator.
•
It may be difficult to open the door again after having opened and closed it to introduce
or remove foods. This is normal due to the vacuum that forms in the interior of the
refrigerator caused by the exchange of air at different temperatures. If this happens, wait
for 10 to 15 seconds before trying again and the doors should open easily.
•
Always store onions in a plastic bag or a hermetically sealed container to prevent their
odor from penetrating other foods.
•
Do not store garlic inside your refrigerator as a cold, dark environment promotes its
germination.
•
Store foods in small quantities in the freezer as this facilitates quicker and more effective
freezing.
•
We recommend placing food that you would like to freeze rapidly or ice cubes on the
freezer shelf.
•
Always take note of the manufacturer’s expiry date on frozen products.
•
Once food has been defrosted, it cannot be refrozen.
•
Liquids increase in volume when frozen. For this reason, do not fill recipients up to the
brim with liquids.
•
Do not store closed glass recipients containing liquids in the freezer. The breakage of
glass recipients could badly damage the freezer
CLEANING YOUR REFRIGERATOR
Always disconnect the refrigerator plug from the outlet before cleaning or before starting
a technical revision.
Never use toxic products (ammonia, etc.), abrasive products (pastes) or fibers as they
can damage the refrigerator.
Use a soft sponge or a cloth that has been soaked in water and a mild soap. Rinse and
dry well with a clean, dry cloth. You can also use a solution of one spoon of bicarbonate
of soda and two liters of warm water to clean the interior
Do not use fibers or sharp or pointed objects which can scratch your refrigerator or the
interior shelves.
To clean the condenser (on the models which have them), use a brush, cloth, or sponge
to eliminate accumulated dust. Do this at least every six months.
