Getting the most from your appliance
Arranging Food in the Appliance
Cooling compartment
• The refrigerator compartment is used for
storing fresh food for a few days.
• Do not place food in direct contact with the
rear wall of the refrigerator compartment.
Leave some space around food to allow the
circulation of air.
• Do not place hot food or evaporating liquid in
the refrigerator.
• Always store food wrapped, or in closed
containers.
• To reduce humidity and avoid formation
of frost, never place liquids in unsealed
containers in the refrigerator.
• We recommend meat is loosely wrapped
and placed on the glass shelf just above the
vegetable bin, where the air is colder.
• Store fruit and vegetable items loose in the
crisper containers.
• To avoid cold air escaping, try not to open
the door too often, and do not leave the door
open for a long time.
NOTE: Potatoes, onions and garlic should
not be stored in the refrigerator. Meat should
never be frozen after it has thawed (if it has
not been cooked).
Some recommendations have been specified
below for the placement and storage of your
food in the cooling compartment.
The deep freeze compartment
• Use the deep freeze compartment of your
refrigerator for storing frozen food for a long
time and producing ice.
• Place the food you would like to freeze
initially in the upper basket of the freezer.
Please do not place food near the already
frozen food. You may place your food next to
the other frozen food once it has frozen (for
at least 24 hours).
• You should freeze your food (meat, minced
meat, fish, etc.) by dividing them into portions
in such a way that they can be consumed in
portions.
• Please do not refreeze frozen food once it is
thawed. It may pose a danger for your health.
• Do not place hot meals in your deep freeze
before they are cold.
• When buying frozen food ensure that it has
been frozen at a suitable temperature and
that the packing is intact.
• When storing frozen food; the instructions
shown on frozen food packaging should
always be followed carefully and if no
information is provided, food should not
be stored for more than 3 months from the
purchase date.
• Frozen food should be transported in
appropriate containers and placed in the
freezer as soon as possible. Do not use door
shelves for freezing.
• The storage duration of frozen food changes
depending on the environment temperature,
the frequent opening and closing of the
doors, thermostat settings, food type and
the length of period that has elapsed from
the time the food was bought to the time
it entered the freezer. Always follow the
instructions on the packaging and never
exceed the storage duration.
