Practical tips and notes
Cooling
• Clean fresh food and vegetables before
storing in the crisper bin.
• Always pack or wrap food, or put it in a
suitable container, before storing it in the
appliance.
• Wrap food which is not suitable for storage
at cold temperatures in polyethylene bags
(pineapple, melons, cucumbers, tomatoes
etc.).
• Food with strong odour or apt to acquire
odour should be wrapped in airtight or smell-
proof packaging material.
• Keep fresh food separate from cooked
food, to avoid bacteria contamination.
• Never keep fresh meat in the fridge for
more than 2 or 3 days.
• Remove any left-over canned food from
the can and store it in a suitable
container.
• Refer to the shelf life indicated on the
food packaging.
• Do not obstruct the air circulation inside
the appliance by covering the shelves.
• Never keep any dangerous or poisonous
substances inside your appliance.
• Always check food that has been stored
for a long period of time for its suitability for
consumption.
• Do not store fresh and cooked food
together in the same container.
• Close the door immediately after
opening, to avoid unnecessary energy
consumption.
• Do not use hard or sharp objects to
remove the ice build-up.
• Do not store hot food in your appliance.
Freezing
• Always leave food to thaw in a container that
allows the thawing water to run off.
• Do not exceed the maximum allowable
freezing capacity when freezing fresh food
(see the section "Freezing")
• Do not give children ice-cream and water ices
direct from the freezer as the low temperature
may cause freezer burns on lips.
• Never re-freeze defrosted food; defrosted food
must be consumed within 24 hours. Only food
that has been cooked can be refrozen.
• Do not take out frozen food with wet hands.
• Store only good quality fresh food.
• Always use appropriate packaging material
to avoid odour penetration or degradation of
the food.
• Store commercially frozen food in accordance
with the instructions given on the packaging.
• Freeze cooked food in small quantities. This
ensures rapid freezing and maintains the
quality of the food.
• Do not freeze liquid in tightly closed bottles
or containers.
The bottles/containers may burst at low
temperatures.
• Carry pre-frozen food in suitable bags and
place it in your freezer as soon as possible.
Always defrost food in the fridge compartment.
