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.
■ Clean regularly surfaces that can come in contact with food and accessible drainage
systems.
■ Clean water tanks if they have not been used for 48 h: flush the water system connected to a
water supply if water has not been drawn for 5 days.
■ Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact
with or drip onto other food.
■ Two-star frozen-food compartments are suitable for storing pre-frozen food, storing or
making ice-cream and making ice cubes.
■ One, two-and three-star compartments are not suitable for the freezing of fresh food.
■ If the refrigerating appliance is left empty for long periods, switch off, defrost, clean, dry, and
leave the door open to prevent mould developing within the appliance.
■ Do not place hot foods and/or liquids directly in the appliance. Always allow them to cool
down before placing them in the appliance.
■ Do not place food against the rear wall of the appliance.
■ Store cleaned fruits and vegetables in the crisper drawers (3), butter and cheeses in airtight
containers and milk bottles in the door compartments (4).
■ When placing foods in containers or bags, write the date on the packaging to remind you
when the food was stored.
■ Avoid opening the doors too often and for too long to reduce the loss of cold air and prevent
humidity build-up in the appliance compartments.
■ Do not refreeze frozen foods after thawing.
■ Follow the food manufacturer's storage recommendations for frozen foods.
■ Do not place items such as bottled or sealed containers of fluid (e. g. bottled beers and
beverages) in the freezer, as they may burst and spoil other food items.
■ Prepare food in small batches to allow it to freeze and thaw more quickly. It also allows you
to thaw and cook a suitable quantity of food.
