Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in
the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.
If the appliance is out of use for long period, fol-
low the instructions under "Switching off".
Fridge
Always store food covered or packed to prevent dry-
ing-out and transfer of odor or taste onto other food
items. You may pack the food with e.g.
Polyethylene plastic
bags or foil
Plastic bowl with lid
Special plastic covers
with elastic strip
Aluminum foil
Recommendations
Store fresh packed items on the glass shelves,
fresh fruits and vegetables in the vegetable box.
Place bottles in the door storage racks.
With air circulation different climate zones arises.
-
The coldest zone is located at the rear and the
lower fridge part. Recommended for the stor-
age of foods such as fish, sausages and meat.
-
The warmest zone is located at the door and
the upper fridge part. Suitable for the storage
of e.g. cheese and butter.
Let warm food cool down first.
Freezer
The 4-star freezer allows you to store frozen food at
a temperature of ≤ -18°C for several months; to pro-
duce ice cubes and to freeze fresh food. The tem-
perature of the freezer is automatically controlled by
the temperature control in the fridge.
NOTE:
Make sure that the temperature in the freezer does
not rise above -18°C. For this, the unit should be
defrosted regularly. A thick frozen layer deteriorates
the cooling and increases the power consumption.
Freezing
24 hours before freezing we recommend turning
the temperature control to the highest power level
and to keep this setting even after freezing for a
few hours. The appliance is not compromised if
the setting will not revert to a normal operating
temperature after the freezing process, but for
economic reasons you should possibly avoid it.
Fresh food should be frozen as fast as possible to
the core. During freezing operation, the tempera-
ture of fresh food should be lowered as fast as
possible to keep formation of ice crystals as little
as possible and not to damage the food structure.
Frozen food should be kept in contact with the
bottom of the compartment.
Keep a space between the individual items, so
that the cold air can circulate.
Storing frozen food
Packed frozen merchandise should be stored in a
4-star-freezer compartment in accordance with
the manufacturer’s data. Make sure the food
items do not defrost after purchase and to store
them as fast as possible in the freezer.
It is possible to store food for longer periods of
time, up to three months. This period might vary,
so observe the storage information on the pack-
aging of the merchandise.
General safety precautions
Do not exceed the maximum freezing capacity.
See data under "EU Product Data Sheet” or on
the rating label.
Do not store bottles or cans. These can break
when the contents freeze – or even explode, if
they contain carbonated drinks.
Once products have been defrosted halfway or
completely, they should be consumed as soon as
possible and should not be frozen again, except
they have been processed to a ready meal.
