OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS
Storage of food in the fridge-freezer
Observe the following recommen-
dations to ensure the food remains
fresh.
l
The products kept in the Fresh zone
chamber remain fresh even three ti-
mes longer than the products stored
in standard conditions. They also ma-
intain all the nutritional values, taste,
flavour and vitamins.
l
The temperature in the Fresh Zone
chamber is always lower than the one
in the fridge and is within the range
from "0°C to +3°C. Owing to the adequ-
ate temperature and air moisture, the
Fresh Zone chamber is an ideal place
for storage of meat, smoked meat, fish
and cheese.
l
Owing to the fact that the interior of
the refrigerator is covered by a special
protective layer, the stored products
are protected from the development of
microorganisms, bacteria and mould.
Owing to this, we can enjoy the taste
and nutritional values of food for a lon-
ger period of time.
l
The products should be placed on plates
in containers or packed in food wrap. Di-
stribute them evenly all over the shelves.
l
Pay attention whether the food contacts
the rear wall, if so, it may cause frosting
or wetting of the products.
l
Do not put dishes with hot content into
the fridge
l
Products which take over foreign flavours
easily such as butter, milk, white cheese
and products with intense flavour, such as
fish, smoked meat, hard cheese must be
placed on shelves, packed in food wrap or
in tightly sealed containers.
Freezing food
l
It is allowed to place the food in the she-
lves (see fig. 20).

l
Storage of vegetables containing significant
quantity of water will cause the deposition
of water steam on the vegetable containers,
it does not impact the proper functioning of
the fridge.
l
Before putting the vegetables into the fridge,
dry them well.
l
Excessive moisture shortens the shelf life
of vegetables, especially the leafed vegeta-
bles.
l
Do not wash the vegetables before storing
in the refrigerator. Washing removes the
natural protection, therefore it is better to
wash the vegetables directly before con-
sumption.
l
Practically all the food products, except for
vegetables consumed raw, such as lettuce
can be frozen.
l
Only food products of the highest quality,
divided into small portions for single use,
should be frozen.
