Storing Food
Freezer Compartment
The freezer compartment is designated for the
low-temperature freezing of food and long-term
storage of frozen food.
Do not put fresh and frozen food next to each
other. The frozen food may thaw.
When freezing large amounts of fresh food (such
as meat, fish or chopped meat), please divide
them into several small pieces before putting in,
so that they can be quickly frozen and pick up
easily.
Abide by the storage times recommended by
food manufacturers on the packages, there is no
information on the packaging, food should not
be stored frozen for longer than three months
from the date of purchase.
When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it
was frozen at a suitable temperature and that the
packaging is not damaged.
Frozen food should be kept in suitable individual
packages to ensure that adjacent food cannot be
contaminated.Consume thawed and defrosted
foods immediately, do not refreeze them.
EN
In case of prolonged power failure or malfunction
of the appliance, remove the stored frozen
food and check whether they are still edible,
then store them in a sufficiently cool place or in
another appliance.
To defrost food, remove it from the freezer
and let it defrost at room temperature or in the
refrigerator. To defrost food quickly, you can
use the defrost function on your microwave, for
example.
If you only want to defrost part of a pack, remove
the portion you need and immediately close
the rest of the pack. In this way, you will avoid
"freezer burn" and will reduce ice formation on
the remaining foods.
Refrigerator Compartment
To reduce moisture and subsequent ice build-up,
never put liquid into the fridge compartment in
unsealed containers. Frost tends to concentrate
in the coolest parts of the evaporator. Storing
uncovered liquids results in a more frequent need
for defrosting.
Never put warm foods in the fridge
compartment. These should first cool down at
room temperature and then be placed so as
to ensure adequate air circulation in the fridge
compartment.
Foods or food containers should not touch the
back wall of the fridge because they could freeze
to the wall. Do not keep regularly opening the
door of the refrigerator.
Meat and clean fish (packed in a package
or plastic foil) can be placed in the fridge
compartment, which can be used in 1–2 days.
Fruit and vegetables without packaging can be
placed in the part designated for fresh fruit and
vegetables
ATTENTION
Storage of too much food during operation
after the initial connection to power may
adversely affect the freezing effect of the
refrigerator.
Storage Times and Temperature
Note: Overlong storage or storage at
inappropriate freezing temperature may cause a
quality loss or spoiled foods, which causes food
waste, is inedible and may cause food poisoning.
The minimum temperature in most cases
should be -18°C or colder. Follow the maximum
recommended storage times below:
Stew, ice cream, sausages, bread: 2-6
>
