How to store food in the refrigerator compartment

Place the food as shown in the side figure. A. Cooked food B. Fish, meat C. Fruit and vegetables D. Bottles E. Eggs F. Butter, dairy products, cheese Notes: • The distance between the shelves and the inside rear panel ensures free air circulation. • Food should not touch the inside rear panel of the refrigerator compartment. • Do not place food that is still warm in the compartments. • Keep liquids in closed containers. • Storing vegetables with a high water content can cause condensation to form in the lower drawer: this does not affect the correct functioning of the appliance.

HOW TO OPERATE THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT The freezer compartment has stars.

Frozen food can be stored in it until the date indicated on the packaging. Additionally, fresh food can be frozen by storing it under the grill, at the lowest level, and placing food that is already frozen in the upper part of the compartment, in order to avoid it touching food that is still unfrozen. The quantity of fresh food that can be frozen in 24 hours is written on the rating plate. Important: Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: • Aluminium foil, cling film, air- and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing food. • The freezer compartment keeps a temperature appropriate to food storage even in the event of an electricity failure. In the event of such occurrence, is nonetheless advised not to open the compartment door. Important: See side table for storage months for home frozen food. When purchasing frozen food products please make sure that: • Its packaging or the package are intact, as otherwise the product might deteriorate. If the package is swollen or shows damp patches, it may not have been stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may have already begun. • When shopping, buy frozen foods at the end of your trip and transport them in a thermally insulated cool bag. • Once at home, immediately place the frozen food in the freezer compartment. • Do not refreeze partially thawed food. Consume it within 24 hours. • Avoid or keep temperature variations to a minimum. Respect the best-before date on the package. • Always observe the storage information on the package. Making ice cubes • Fill 3/4 of the ice tray with water and place it in the freezer compartment. If the tray sticks to the compartment floor, do not use sharp or pointed objects to remove it.

MONTHS FOOD HOW TO DEFROST AND CLEAN THE FREEZER COMPARTMENT We recommend defrosting the freezer compartment once or twice a year, or when the ice on the sides reaches a thickness of about 3 mm. It is advised to defrost the freezer compartment when it is almost empty.
