3.5 Using the refrigerator
compartment
Arranging food
Arrange food on the various shelves,
making sure that they wrapped and
covered hermetically. This precaution
ensures that:
• the flavour, moisture and freshness of the
foods is preserved;
• any contamination of foods with odours
or tastes from other foods can be
avoided;
• the humidity level inside the refrigerator is
prevented from becoming too high as a
result of the normal transpiration of food
(especially fresh fruit and vegetables). In
some operating conditions (rise in
ambient temperature and humidity, more
frequent opening of the door) this might
cause condensation to form on the
shelves.
Storage life table
3.6 Using the freezer compartment
To keep and freeze foods properly:
• pack fruit and vegetables in portions of
no more than 1 kg; meat and fish in
portions of up to 2 kg.
• small packages freeze quickly which
means that the foods' nutritional
properties are preserved better,
including after defrosting/preparation.
• To freeze small amounts of food it is not
necessary to set the thermostat of the
freezer to the maximum position.
• package foods in hermetically sealed
packages, expelling air as much as
possible.
• The maximum amount of food that can
be frozen within 24 hours is indicated in
the dedicated plate: do not exceed that
limit in order not to reduce efficiency of
the freezer.
• For optimal freezing capacity of the
appliance, the freezer thermostat knob
should be kept on the maximum position
for 24 hours before introducing fresh
food.
• Do not use paper bags or shopping
bags, use the suitable freezer bags/
containers.
Always allow hot foods and drinks
to cool to room temperature
before putting them in the
appliance.
