Storage of food in the refrigerator
 Important precautions and hints:

Proper use of the appliance, adequately
packed food, correct temperature and
hygienic
precautions produce
substantial impact on the quality of
stored food.

Always respect the best before date,
printed on the packaging.

Food to be stored in the refrigerator
should be properly packed as to prevent
emission and/or reception of moisture
and odors.

Never store inflammable, volatile or
explosive substances.

Beverages with high alcohol percentage
shall be stored in tightly sealed bottles in
vertical position.
 Some organic solutions like volatile oils
in lemon or orange peel, acids in butter
etc. can cause damage in prolonged
contact with plastic surfaces or gaskets
for longer period of time they can cause
accelerated aging of the plastic material.

Storing food in the FreshZone
compartment
The FreshZone drawer allows storing a wide
variety of fresh food to keep longer than in a
conventional refrigerator. The food stays fresh
longer, retaining the flavour and nutrients. It
lows down decay and loss of mass; therefore,
fruit and vegetables remain fresh and natural
longer. For optimum performance, the drawer
should be fully closed.

When buying food, make sure it is fresh as
this will determine the quality of the food, as
well as how long it will keep in the fridge.
 Store your food in closed containers or
appropriate packaging to prevent it from
emitting or receiving odours and moisture.

Take the food from the drawer 30-60 minutes
before use to allow the aroma and flavour
develop at room temperature.

Food sensitive to low temperature and not
appropriate for storage in the FreshZone
drawer include the following: pineapple,
avocado, bananas, olives, potatoes, eggplant,
cucumbers, beans, peppers (capsicum),
melons, watermelons, pumpkins and squash,
etc.

To remove the drawer:

remove the vegetable bin;

remove the glass shelf above and, with
different models, it may locate under the
FreshZone drawer;

if necessary (with some models), remove
the drawer door (1): open, hold in the
middle (as shown in the figure), bend
slightly and simultaneously pull up
towards you;
 pull out the drawer to the position
indicated in the figure (detail »A«), rotate
it downwards and remove it.
