Food Storage
To obtain the best results from our appliance
neither hot foods nor liquids which ma evaporate,
should be placed in the refrigerator.
Keep the time between bu ing chilled food and
placing it in our fridge as short as possible.
Do not push food together too much, tr to allow air
to circulate around each item.

clean, refer to Cleaning and Maintenance.
Frozen food storage
Storing read -frozen foods is quite straightforward.
The packs can be placed beside each other or on top
of each other.
You are strongl advised to place read -frozen food in
the compartment as quickl as possible after
purchase and we therefore recommend that ou bu
them last. Also ensure that the external packaging is
intact.
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of
refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate
that the product has not been kept at a suitable
temperature and that it ma have lost its original
qualit .
Partiall thawed food must not be refrozen, it must
be consumed within 24 hours.
Never exceed the storage times indicated.
Do not open the ice-making compartment door too
often and do not leave open longer than necessar .
Important
In the event of a power cut the food in the ice-
making compartment will not be affected if the
power cut is short and if the compartment is full. Do
not open the door. Should the food begin to thaw,
it must be consumed quickl and must not be
refrozen.
Energy Saving Advice
Do not install the cabinet close to sources of
heat, such as a cooker, dishwasher or radiator.
Locate the appliance in a cool well ventilated
room and make sure that the air openings of the
cabinet are not obstructed.
Alwa s leave warm food to cool down to room
temperature before placing in the fridge.
Tr to avoid keeping the door open for long
periods, or opening the door too frequentl as
warm air will enter the cabinet, and cause the
compressor to switch on unnecessaril often.
Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the
door from closing properl .
It is advisable to periodicall clean the
