• do not store warm food or

6.4 

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:
• Meat (all types) : wrap in polythene

bags and place on the glass shelf

above the vegetable drawer.

• For safety, store in this way only one

or two days at the most.

• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc. :

these should be covered and may be

placed on any shelf.

• Fruit and vegetables: these should be

thoroughly cleaned and placed in the

special drawer(s) provided.

• Butter and cheese: these should be

placed in special airtight containers or

wrapped in aluminium foil or

polythene bags to exclude as much

air as possible.

• Bottles: these need a cap and should

be stored on the door bottle shelf, or

(if equipped) on the bottle rack.

• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic,

if not packed, must not be kept in the

refrigerator.

6.5 

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the

freezing process, here are some

important hints:
• the maximum quantity of food which

can be frozen in 24 hours is shown on

the rating plate;

• the freezing process takes 24 hours

no further food to be frozen should

be added during this period;

• freeze only top quality, fresh and

thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;

• prepare food in small portions to

enable it to be rapidly and completely

frozen and to make it possible

subsequently to thaw only the

quantity required;

• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or

polythene and make sure that the

packages are airtight;

• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to

touch food which is already frozen,

thus avoiding a rise in temperature of

the latter;

• lean foods store better and longer

than fatty ones; salt reduces the

storage life of food;

• water ices, if consumed immediately

after removal from the freezer

compartment, can possibly cause the

skin to be freeze burnt;

• it is advisable to show the freezing in

date on each individual pack to

enable you to keep tab of the storage

time.

6.6 

Hints for storage of frozen

food

To obtain the best performance from this

appliance, you should:
• make sure that the commercially

frozen foodstuffs were adequately

stored by the retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are

transferred from the foodstore to the

freezer in the shortest possible time;

• not open the door frequently or leave

it open longer than absolutely

necessary;

• once defrosted, food deteriorates

rapidly and cannot be refrozen;

• do not exceed the storage period

indicated by the food manufacturer.
