4. FOOD-STORAGE TIPS

The refrigerator is the ideal storage location for ready meals, fresh and preserved food, dairy products, fruit andvegetablesandbeverage. 4.1. AIR VENTILATION

• The natural circulation of air in the refrigerator compartment results in zones with different temperatures.Itiscoldestdirectlyabovethefruits andvegetablescrisperandattherearwall.Itis warmestatthetopfrontofthecompartment.

• Insufficient ventilation results in an increase in energy consumption and reduction of the refrigeratingperformance.

• Use recyclable plastic, metal, aluminum and glass containersandclingfilmtowrapfoods.

• Always use closed containers for liquids and for food that may give off or be tainted by odor or flavor transferorcoverthem.

• Foods which give off a large amount ethylene gas and those that are sensitive to this gas, such as fruit, vegetables and salad, should always be separated or wrapped so as not to reduce the storage life; for example do not store tomatoes togetherwithkiwifruitsorcabbage.

• Do not store food too close together to enable sufficientaircirculation.

• To avoid bottles falling over, you can use the bottle holder(availableonselectedmodels).

• If you have a little quantity of food to store in the refrigerator, we recommend to use the shelves above the crisper for fruits and vegetables since this isthecoolestareaofthecompartment. *Availableonselectedmodelsonly.PleasecheckontheQUICKSTARTGUIDEifthisfunctionisactuallyavailableonyourmodel.8 *Availableonselectedmodelsonly.PleasecheckontheQUICKSTARTGUIDEifthisfunctionisactuallyavailableonyourmodel.

• In the fruits and vegetables crisper: fruits, salad, vegetables.

• In the door: butter, jams, sauces, pickles, cans, bottles,beveragecartons,eggs.

Sounds coming from your appliances are normal since it has a number of fans and engines to regulate performances that switch on and off automatically. Some of the functional sounds can be reduced through

• Leveling the appliance and installing it on an even surface.

• Separating and avoiding contact between the applianceandfurniture.

• Checking if the internal components are correctly placed.

• Checking if bottles and containers are not in contact witheachother. Some of the functional sounds you might hear: A hissing sound when switching on the appliance for the first time or afteralongpause. A gurgling sound when refrigerant fluidentersintothepipes. BRRRsoundisfromthe compressorrunning. Buzzing sound when water valve or fanstartworking. A cracking sound when compressor starts or when ready ice drops into ice box abrupt clicks when compressor switches on and off. The CLICK is from the thermostat which adjusts how often the compressorisrunning.9
