Storing Foods Effectively
• Food may freeze or spoil if stored at the
wrong temperature. Set the refrigerator to the
correct temperature for the food being stored.
• Store frozen food or refrigerated food inside
sealed containers.
• Check the expiration date and label (storage
instructions) before storing food in the
appliance.
• Do not store food for a long period of time
(more than four weeks) if it spoils easily at a
low temperature.
• Place the refrigerated food or frozen food in
each fridge or freezer compartment
immediately after purchasing.
• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers
in the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact
with or drip onto other food.
• Avoid refreezing any food which has been
completely thawed. Freezing any food which
has been completely thawed again will lower
its taste and nutrition.
• Do not wrap and store vegetables with
newspaper. Printing material of newspaper or
other foreign substances may smear and
contaminate food.
• Do not overfill the appliance. Fill less than 70
% of the space. Cold air can not circulate
properly if the appliance is overfilled.
• Cool hot food before storing. If too much hot
food is placed inside, the internal temperature
of the appliance can increase and negatively
affect other foods stored in the appliance.
• If you set an excessively low temperature for
food, it may become frozen. Do not set a
temperature lower than the required
temperature for the food to be stored correctly.
• Always keep the appliance clean.
• If there are chill compartments in the
appliance, do not store vegetables and fruits
with higher moisture content in the chill
compartments as they may freeze due to the
lower temperature.
• In the event of a blackout, call the electricity
company and ask how long it is going to last.
− You should avoid opening the doors, while
the power is off.
− When the power supply gets back to normal,
check the condition of the food.
Max Freezing Capacity
• The Express Freeze function will set the
freezer to its maximum freezing capacity.
• This generally takes up to 24 hours and
automatically switches off.
• Express Freeze must be switched on for 2
hours before fresh products are placed in the
freezer compartment.
Maximum Storage
• To get better air circulation, remove the
moving ice maker.
• If large quantities of food are to be stored, the
moving ice maker can be taken out of the
appliance and the food can then be stacked
directly on the freezer shelves in the freezer
compartment.
