• Store raw meat and fish in suitable containers in
the refrigerator, so that it is not in contact with or
drip onto other food.
• Refrigerated foods and other food items can be
stored on top of the vegetable drawer.
• Avoid refreezing any food which has been
completely thawed. Freezing any food which has
been completely thawed again will lower its taste
and nutrition.
- Only take out the amount of food that you
need. Consume thawed food quickly. It can
only be refrozen after being cooked.
• 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.
• Do not overfill the appliance. Cold air can not
circulate properly if the appliance is overfilled.
• 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.
• 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.
• Always follow the food manufacturer's
instructions on the permissible storage duration
of frozen food. Do not exceed the recommended
storage time of food.
- Mark the storage date, permissible storage
duration, and the food name on the packaging
to prevent it from exceeding the storage time
limit.
• In the event of a blackout, call the electricity
company and ask how long it is going to last.
- You should avoid door openings while the
power is off.
- When the power supply gets back to normal,
check the condition of the food.
- If the power outage lasts longer, especially
during the summer months, please follow
these guidelines:
- Do not place additional food into the
appliance during the power outage.
- If the power outage is announced and is
expected to last for more than 10 hours,
prepare some ice and put it in a container on
the top shelf of the fridge.
- Due to the temperature increase in the
appliance during a power outage or other
malfunction, the shelf life of the food will be
reduced and its quality will decrease. If
necessary, process thawed food and freeze it
again in the cooked state.
Maximum Freezing Capacity
• For maximum freezing capacity, set the freezer
temperature to the coldest temperature setting.
• To freeze food items quickly, store the food in
the center of the superior refrigerator shelf.
Food items will freeze most quickly in the zone.
• To get better air circulation, insert all inner parts
like crispers, bins, and shelves.
Freezing the Maximum Amount
of Food
If large quantities of food are to be stored, the
icemaker should be taken out of the appliance and
the food should be stacked directly on the freezer
shelves in the freezer compartment.
NOTE
• Insert the icemaker in the right position.
Two Star Compartment
• Two star ( ) basket or drawer can be used to
a
store ice and food from -12 °C to -18 °C (10 °F to
0 °F) for short periods.
• Two star frozen food compartments are suitable
for storing pre-frozen food, storing or making
icecream and making ice cubes.
• Two star compartments are not suitable for the
freezing of fresh food.
