Storage Instruction - Smeg CB2485U Manual

The refrigerator section is for short-term food storage. Although low temperatures can be maintained, extended
periods of food storage are not recommended.
As the cold air circulates within the fridge, the temperature can vary between the different sections. As such, foods
should be stored in different sections according to type.
1. Butter, cheese, etc.
2. Food in jars and bottles
3. Drinks, e.g. milk
4. Cooked food
5. Yoghurts, preserves, etc.
6. 75 ml / 2.5 oz bottles or ready meals, etc.
7. Fresh meat and fish
8. Fruit and vegetables
•
The shelves can be moved according to the storage requirements within the refrigerator section.
•
To move the shelf, lift the rear section up and then pull it outwards.
•
To replace, slide the shelf back into the slot, and then lower the rear section.
Refrigerator storage
◆
Never put uncovered liquids in the refrigerator
◆
Never put hot foods in the refrigerator. Warm food should be allowed to cool to room temperature before
being put into the refrigerator
◆
Nothing should rest against the rear wall of the refrigerator, as this will cause frost and possible condensation
problems which will be difficult to remove
◆
Make sure food is clean and any extra water is wiped away before putting into the fridge
◆
Wrap or cover food before putting into the refrigerator. This will help prevent the loss of moisture, keep food
fresh and avoid unpleasant odors
◆
Do not overfill the refrigerator. There should be sufficient space between the foods to allow the cool air to
circulate
◆
Thawing frozen foods in the refrigerator compartment will help to keep the temperature low and save
energy
◆
Never store raw meats on shelves above cooked meats or other produce
Freezer storage
◆
The freezer compartments are designed to store only frozen food
◆
Never put hot or warm foods in the freezer, allow them to cool fully before putting them into the freezer
◆
Follow the instructions on the food packaging for storage of frozen food. If no information is provided, foods
should not be stored for more than three months after the purchase date
◆
Store food in small packages (ideally less than 1 kg / 2.2 lbs). This reduces the freezing time and improves the
quality of the food after thawing
◆
Once food is thawed, it must not be refrozen. Only defrost as much food as is required to prevent waste
◆
Bottled or canned drinks should not be stored in the freezer compartments as they could explode
◆
The maximum amount of fresh food that can be frozen within a 24-hour period is 3 kg / 6.6 lbs. Do not
attempt to freeze more than the maximum amount
