Hints for fresh food refrigeration

• Good temperature setting that ensures preservation

of fresh food is a temperature less than or equal to

+4°C.

Higher temperature setting inside the appliance may

lead to shorter shelf life of food.

• Cover the food with packaging to preserve its

freshness and aroma.

• Always use closed containers for liquids and for

food, to avoid flavours or odours in the

compartment.

• To avoid the cross-contamination between cooked

and raw food, cover the cooked food and separate it

from the raw one.

• It is recommended to defrost the food inside the

fridge.

• Do not insert hot food inside the appliance. Make

sure it has cooled down at room temperature before

inserting it.

• To prevent food waste the new stock of food should

always be placed behind the old one.

garlic should not be kept in the refrigerator.

• Butter and cheese: place in an airtight container or

exclude as much air as possible.
