STORING FOOD IN THE REFRIGERATOR 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.
STORING FOOD IN THE FRESHZONE DRAWER In the FreshZone compartment, food stays fresh longer than in a conventional refrigerator, retaining more flavour and nutrients. Decay and loss of mass are slowed down; therefore, fruit and vegetables remain fresh and natural longer. For optimum performance, the drawer should be fully closed.
FREEZING AND STORING FROZEN FOOD FREEZING PROCESS 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;...
IMPORTANT WARNINGS ON FREEZING FRESH FOOD 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.
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...
DEFROSTING THE APPLIANCE AUTOMATIC DEFROSTING OF THE REFRIGERATOR Refrigerator needs no special defrosting procedure, because ice deposited at the inner back wall is defrosted automatically. Ice deposited on the inner back wall during the compressor operation is defrosted when the compressor stops operating, and condensed water drops are drained through the outlet in the inner back wall into the drain pan situated above the compressor where it evaporates.
CLEANING THE APPLIANCE Before cleaning, unplug the appliance from the power mains – switch off the appliance (see chapter Switching the Appliance On/Off) and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. • Use a soft cloth to clean all surfaces. Cleaners that contain abrasive substances, acids, or solvents are not suitable for cleaning as they may damage the surface.
