IMPORTANT WARNINGS REGARDING FOOD STORAGE
Correct use of the appliance, appropriate packaging, maintaining
the right temperature, and observing the food hygiene standards
has a decisive impact on the quality of food storage.
Observe the expiry dates for the food, specified on the
packaging.
Food stored in the refrigerator should be kept in closed
containers or appropriate packaging to prevent them from
emitting or receiving odours.
Do not store inflammable, volatile, and explosive substances in
the refrigerator.
Bottles with high alcohol content should be tightly sealed and
stored in an upright position.
Some organic solutions, essential oils in lemon and orange peel,
butter acid, etc. may damage the plastic surfaces in case of a
prolonged contact, causing damage and premature ageing of
these materials.
Unpleasant odour warns of lacking cleanliness of the appliance or
perished contents (see Cleaning the Appliance).
If you are leaving home for a longer period of time, remove
perishables from the refrigerator.
AVOID CONTAMINATION OF FOOD
To avoid contamination of food, please respect the following instructions:
• Opening the door for long periods can cause a significant increase of the temperature in
the compartments of the appliance.
• Regularly clean surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage
systems.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in
contact with or drip onto other food.
• If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch o, defrost, clean, dry,
and leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.

19
FREEZING AND STORING
FROZEN FOOD
671546
Maximum amount of fresh food that may be inserted at once is
specified on the appliance rating plate. If the amount of food to
be frozen exceeds the indicated amount, the quality of freezing
will be inferior; in addition, the quality of the food already frozen
will deteriorate.
• 24 hours before freezing, rotate the thermostat knob to position 5-7. After 24 hours
of super freeze operation, insert the fresh food onto the freezer compartment shelf.
Approximately 24 hours after inserting the fresh food into the appliance, rotate
the thermostat knob to normal operating temperature (see section Selecting the
temperature).
Make sure the fresh food is not in contact with the food that is already frozen.
• To freeze smaller amounts of food (up to 1 kg), adjusting the thermostat knob setting is
not necessary (observe the instructions in the section Choosing the Temperature).
FREEZING PROCESS
Only freeze the food that is suitable for freezing in the freezer.
Make sure the food you freeze is of high quality and fresh.
Choose appropriate packaging and use the packaging correctly.
Packaging should not be permeable to humidity; it should be
airtight to prevent the food from drying out and loss of vitamins.
Label the food; indicate the type of food, amount, and date of
freezing.
It is important that the food is frozen as quickly as possible.
Therefore, keep the packages small. Refrigerate the food before
freezing.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS ON FREEZING
FRESH FOOD

20
671546
STORAGE OF INDUSTRIALLY FROZEN
FOOD
• When storing and using frozen food, observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Temperature and expiry date are indicated on the packaging.
• Only choose food with undamaged packaging, stored in freezers at temperatures of
-18°C or lower.
• Do not purchase food covered in frost as this indicates they have been partly defrosted
several times and that they are of inferior quality.
• Protect the food from thawing during transport. In case of an increase in temperature,
storage time will be shorter and quality will deteriorate.
FROZEN FOOD STORAGE TIME
Recommended storage time in the freezer
Type of food Time
fruit, beef from 10 to 12 months
vegetables, veal, poultry from 8 to 10 months
Venison from 6 to 8 months
Pork from 4 to 6 months
minced meat 4 months
bread, pastry, ready-to-eat meals, lean 3 months
entrails 2 months
smoked sausage, fatty fish 1 month
DEFROSTING FROZEN FOOD
Freezing the food does not kill the microorganisms. After the food is defrosted or thawed,
bacteria is re-activated and the food spoils quickly. Use the partially or completely
defrosted food as soon as possible.
Partial thawing decreases the nutritive value of the food, particularly fruit, vegetables, and
ready-to-eat food.
