OPERATION AND FUNCTIONS
Storage of food in the fridge-freezer
• The products should be placed on plates, in containers or packed in food wrap.
Distribute them evenly over the shelves.
• If the food contacts the rear wall, it may cause frosting or wetting of the products.
• Do not put dishes with hot food into the fridge
• Products which absorb flavours easily such as butter, milk, white cheese and
products with intense flavour, such as fish, smoked meat, hard cheese must be
placed on shelves, packed in food wrap or in tightly sealed containers.
• The storage of vegetables containing significant quantities of water will cause
the deposition of condensation on the vegetable containers, it does not impact
on the proper functioning of the fridge.
• Before putting the vegetables into the fridge, dry them well.
• Excessive moisture shortens the shelf life of vegetables, especially the leafed
vegetables.
• Do not wash the vegetables before storing in the refrigerator. Washing removes
the natural protection, therefore it is better to wash the vegetables directly before
consumption.
• It is recommended to place the products in freezer drawers 1, 2, 3* up to natural
loading capacity (Fig. 11a / 11b).**
1. Packed products
2. Shelf
3. Natural loading capacity

!
• Stacking of products on the freezer shelves is acceptable.*
• It is acceptable to place products beyond the natural loading capacity by 20-30
mm.**
• In order to increase the loading capacity of the freezer chamber and allow the
stacking of products on the freezer evaporator wire shelves up to maximum
height it is possible to remove drawers 1 and 2.*
Freezing food**
• Practically all the food products, except for vegetables consumed raw, such as
lettuce can be frozen.
• Only food products of the highest quality, divided into small portions for single
use, should be frozen.
• Products should be packed in materials that are odourless, resistant to air and
moisture penetration, and not susceptible to fat. Plastic bags, polyethylene and
aluminium sheets are the best wrapping materials.
• The packaging should be tight and should stick to the frozen products. Do not
use glass containers.
• Keep fresh and warm foodstuff at ambient temperature away from the products,
which have already been frozen.
• We advise you not to place more of fresh food at a time to the freezer per day
(see table witch technical specification).
• In order to maintain optimum quality of the frozen food, reorganise the food that
is in the middle of the freezer, so that it does not touch the products that are not
yet frozen.
• It is recommended that you move the already frozen products to one side and
place the fresh products that are to be frozen on the opposite side, as close to
the rear and side walls as possible.
