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.
• 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.
FREEZING AND STORING FOODS IN THE FREEZER
Important recommendations for freezing fresh food
• The maximum quantity of food that you can put in the freezer in one go is
stated on the type plate. Putting more than this maximum quantity of food
into the freezer will slow the freezing process and reduce the quality. Moreover,
this will also harm the quality of frozen food already stored in the freezer.
• Use only good-quality fresh food that is suitable for freezing.
• Allow hot food to cool to room temperature.
• Food needs to be frozen quickly. It is recommended that you use small packs.
• Use air and watertight packaging to prevent the food from drying out and lose
its vitamins.
• Note the type and quantity of the food on the packaging, together with the
date on which it was frozen.
• Do not allow fresh food to come into contact with frozen food.
• You can remove all the drawers to make use of the total volume of the freezer
compartment. Put the food directly on a shelf and on the base of the freezer.
Freezing smaller quantities of fresh food (1-2 kg)
See the chapter ‘Appliance description’ for the best location for freezing fresh
food (1 to 2 kilograms) and making ice cubes.
Freezing large quantities of fresh food
• Activate the intensive freezing function 24 hours before you plan to freeze the
food.
RECOMMENDED DISTRIBUTION
Sections of the freezer compartment
• Top section: leftovers, ice, pizza.
• Middle section: meat, fish, bread.
• Bottom section: standard freezer, vegetables and fruit.
STORING AND FREEZING FOOD
726346
Do not store lettuce, eggs, apples, pears, grapes, peaches, yoghurt,
buttermilk, sour cream or mayonnaise in the freezer.
