Fresh food storage
The fridge compartment is suitable for short-term storage of all your fresh food.
• The
temperature
inside the fridge compartment varies depending on the amount
of food stored and the frequency of door opening. It is low enough to limit some
bacterial growth, but it is not suitable for long-term storage of perishable foods.
• The walls of the fridge are equipped with a series of runners so that you can position
the glass shelves to suit your individual storage requirements.
• The
door balconies in the fridge compartment are suitable for storage of food and
drink bottles, cans and jars. They may be placed at different heights: gradually pull a
balcony up until it is free, then reposition it as required.
• The easy-to-pull-out crisper drawer is covered with a glass shelf to help you keep
your fruit and vegetables fresh. Slide the humidity regulator (Fig. 7) to the left for low
humidity (for example, when storing fruit), or to the right to create a high-humidity
environment which helps keep vegetables crisp.
Fresh food storage tips
• In order to maintain good
cooling efficiency and save energy, do not open the doors
for too long or too often.
• Do not overload the fridge.
• Keep enough space around items for cold airflow.
• Do not block ventilation openings.
• Do not place items directly against the back wall.
• Let hot food cool down to room temperature before storing them in the fridge.
Otherwise the cooling capacity will be affected and power consumption increased.
Hot items may also affect the plastic parts inside the appliance.
• If necessary, wipe containers clean and dry before storage in the refrigerator.
• Thaw frozen foods in the fridge compartment to ensure safety and save energy.
• Use sealed containers or storage bags to prevent food from drying out, losing its
taste or taking on aromas from other foods.
• Cover cooked foods and store them on any shelf in the fridge compartment.
• Store butter and cheese in airtight containers, or wrap them thoroughly.
• Make sure milk bottles are properly closed before storage on a door balcony.
• Do not keep bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic in the refrigerator.
