Freezing fresh food

The freezer compartment is suitable for freezing fresh food and storing frozen and deep-frozen food for a long time.

To freeze fresh foods it is not necessary to change the medium setting.

However, for a faster freezing operation, turn the temperature regulator toward higher settings to obtain the maximum coldness.

CAUTION! In this condition, the refrigerator compartment temperature might drop below 0^ . If this occurs reset the temperature regulator to a warmer setting.

NaturaFresh Compartment

The storage temperature and the relative humidity (between 45 and 90% provide optimal conditions for the storage of various kinds of food.

To learn about the temperature settings in the NaturaFresh compartment please refer to the "NaturaFresh compartment setting" section

NaturaFresh compartment is suitable for the storage of a variety of fresh food as it preserves its high nutritional values as well as high humidity level much longer in comparison to the regular refrigerator.

The NaturaFresh compartment is also suitable for defrosting food.

The thawed food can be stored up to two days.

Humidity control

Both drawers can be used according to the desired storage conditions independently of each other with lower or higher humidity.

Regulation for each drawer is separate and is controlled using the slide valve at the front of the drawer.

• "Dry": low air humidity - up to 50 % relative humidity

This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set into this position and the ventilation openings are wide open.

• Humid": high relative humidity - up to 90%

This humidity level is reached when both sliders are set in this position and the ventilation openings are closed. Humidity is kept and can not escape.

Blueberries, raspberries	△ "humid"	up to 5 days

Cakes containing cream and other kinds of pastry products can be stored in the NaturaFresh compartment for 2 or 3 days.

Not to be placed in the NaturaFresh compartment:

• cold sensitive fruit which have to be stored at cellar or room temperature like pineapple, bananas, grapefruit, melons, mango, papaya, oranges, lemons, kiwi fruit.
• The types of food not mentioned above should be stored in the refrigerator

compartment (e.g. all sorts of cheese, cold cuts, etc.)

The level of air humidity in the drawers depends on the content of humidity in the stored food, vegetable and fruit and on the frequency of door opening

The NaturaFresh compartment is also suitable for slow thawing of food. In this case the thawed food can be stored in the NaturaFresh compartment for up to two days.

• Pay attention to the freshness of the food, especially on the expiry date. Quality and freshness influence the storage time.

• The whole storage cycle time will depend on the preservation conditions made prior to the final storage in the fridge.

• Food, fruit or vegetables should always be packed or wrapped up before storage.
• Animal food always store packed and dry.
• Food rich in proteins will go bad quicker. This means seafood will spoil before fish which in turn will spoil before meat. While storing food in a NaturaFresh compartment storage time for that kind of food can be increased by up to three times as well without loss on quality.
• All food stored in a NaturaFresh compartment should be taken out of the drawers roughly 15-30 min before consumption, particularly fruit and vegetables to be consumed without any additional cooking process. Allowing fruit and vegetables to return to room temperature will improve the texture and flavour.

Temperature indicator

For proper storage of food the refrigerator is equipped with the temperature indicator. The symbol on the side wall of the appliance indicates the coldest area in the refrigerator.

If "OK" is displayed (A), put fresh food into area indicated by symbol, if not (B), adjust the temperature controller to a colder setting and wait 12 hours before checking the temperature indicator again.

i After putting fresh food into the appliance or after opening the door repeatedly or for a long period, it is normal for the indicator not to show "OK"; wait at least 12 hours before readjusting the temperature controller.

Ice-cube production

This appliance is equipped with one or more trays for the production of ice-cubes.

i Do not use metallic instruments to remove the trays from the freezer.

1. Fill these trays with water
2. Put the ice trays in the freezer compartment.

Thawing

Deep-frozen or frozen food, prior to being used, can be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at room temperature, depending on the time available for this operation.

Small pieces may even be cooked still frozen, directly from the freezer: in this case, cooking will take longer.

Normal operating sounds

The following sounds are normal during operation:

• A faint gurgling and bubbling sound from coils sound when refrigerant is pumped.
• A whirring and pulsating sound from the compressor when refrigerant is pumped.
• A sudden cracking noise from inside appliance caused by thermic dilatation (a natural and not dangerous physical phenomenon).
• A faint click noise from the temperature regulator when the compressor switches on or off.

Hints for energy saving

• Do not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary.

Hints for fresh food refrigeration

To obtain the best performance:

• do not store warm food or evaporating liquids in the refrigerator
• do cover or wrap the food, particularly if it has a strong flavour
• position food so that air can circulate freely around it

Hints for refrigeration

Useful hints:

• Meat (all types): wrap in polythene bags and place on the glass shelf above the vegetable drawer.
• For safety, store in this way only one or two days at the most.
• Cooked foods, cold dishes, etc.: these should be covered and may be placed on any shelf.

• Fruit and vegetables: these should be thoroughly cleaned and placed in the special drawer(s) provided.
  Butter and cheese: these should be placed in special airtight containers or wrapped in aluminium foil or polythene bags to exclude as much air as possible.

• Bottles: these need a cap and should be stored on the door bottle shelf, or (if equipped) on the bottle rack.

• Bananas, potatoes, onions and garlic, if not packed, must not be kept in the refrigerator.

Hints for freezing

To help you make the most of the freezing process, here are some important hints:

• the maximum quantity of food which can be frozen in 24 hrs. is shown on the rating plate;
• the freezing process takes 24 hours. No further food to be frozen should be added during this period;
• freeze only top quality, fresh and thoroughly cleaned, foodstuffs;
• prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible subsequently to thaw only the quantity required;
• wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polythene and make sure that the packages are airtight;
• do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch food which is already frozen, thus avoiding a rise in temperature of the latter;
• lean foods store better and longer than fatty ones; salt reduces the storage life of food;
• water ices, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, can possibly cause the skin to be freeze burnt;
• it is advisable to show the freezing in date on each individual pack to enable you to keep tab of the storage time.

Hints for storage of frozen food

To obtain the best performance from this appliance, you should:

• make sure that the commercially frozen foodstuffs were adequately stored by the retailer;

• be sure that frozen foodstuffs are transferred from the foodstore to the freezer in the shortest possible time;
  not open the door frequently or leave it open longer than absolutely necessary;

CARE AND CLEANING

• once defrosted, food deteriorates rapidly and cannot be refrozen;
• do not exceed the storage period indicated by the food manufacturer.

General warnings
