Arranging foods inside the refrigerator compartment
•
Arrange the foods on the various shelves, taking care that they have an airtight wrapping
or cover. This precaution will:
-
conserve foods' fragrance, moisture and freshness;
-
prevent the cross-contamination of foods with different aromas and tastes;
-
prevent the humidity level inside the refrigerator becoming too high because of the
normal breathing of food (especially fresh fruit and vegetables). In some operating
conditions (rise in ambient temperature and humidity, more frequent opening of the
door) this might cause condensation to form on the shelves.
•
Use only containers approved for food storage. Always allow hot foods and drinks to cool
to room temperature before placing them inside the refrigerator.
•
Never store explosive substances in the appliance and only store high-alcohol drinks firmly
sealed and vertical.
Setting the operating temperature
Important
: Changes in weather conditions (temperature and humidity) and
the frequency with which the doors of the two separate compartments are
opened may affect the refrigerator's operating temperatures.
Temperature Control
The temperature in the freezer is controlled by the thermostat control regulator in the upper
the freezer. Turn the thermostat control regulator with key attached up or down to regulate
the temperature inside the freezer. The markings on control regulator indicated the “
MIN
,
MED
and
MAX
” for the different temperature grades. The temperature decreases with
position
MIN
being the warmest and position
MAX
being the coldest.
Set the control to the middle position
MED
for normal use, but you may set the control to
other positions if you find the middle is too cold or too warm.
Freezing foods
•
For proper storage and freezing, fruit and vegetables should be packed in portions of not
more than 1 kg and meat and fish up to a max. of 2kg. Small packages of food freeze more
quickly, giving better conservation of their nutrients and flavour, even after thawing and
preparation.
•
Use only freezer bags, aluminium film, food-approved polyethylene film and freezer
containers. Do not use paper bags, non-food-approved cellophane bags, shopping bags or
used freezer bags.
•
Pack foods in airtight packs and try to expel all the air. If using bags, close the packs with
the elastic bands or plastic-coated wire strips provided.
