Using the shelves The walls of the refrigerator are equipped with a series of runners so that the shelves can be positioned as desired. Positioning the small door trays The small door trays can be removed to assist cleaning. To do this, progressively pull the door rack in the direction indicated by the arrows until you can remove it completely. After cleaning it, replace it in the desired location. Hints and Tips The refrigerator is a domestic appliance suited to short-term conservation of food products like fruit, vegetables, drinks, etc. Do not use it as a specialised appliance for storing products that require storage in line with strict temperature rules, like medicines, etc. Cooked foods must be cooled to ambient temperature before they are placed in the refrigerator. We recommend placing food in sealed containers before storing them in the fridge. Never place food right next to the air outlet as this could impede the airflow and freeze the food. Never place volatile, inflammable or explosive liquids like solvents, alcohol, acetone or petrol in the fridge. There is an explosion hazard. Never leave the door open longer than necessary. Hints for refrigeration Meat (all types) must be wrapped in sealed polyethylene bags and placed on the glass shelf above the crisper. 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 provided. Butter and cheese should be placed in special sealed containers, wrapped in aluminium foil or placed in a sealed bag. Milk bottles should be capped and stored in the bottle rack in the door. To save energy, all of the door shelves and glass shelves should be fitted in their designed location. Ice cubes This appliance can accept one or more ice cube trays for making ice cubes. 39Freezing tips To help you optimise the freezing process, here are some important tips: The maximum amount of food that you can freeze every 24 hours can be found on the ID plate. The freezing process takes 24 hours. Do not add any more food to freeze during this time. Only freeze good quality, fresh and properly washed food. Prepare food in small portions to enable it to be rapidly and completely frozen and to make it possible to subsequently thaw only the quantity required. Wrap up the food in aluminium foil or polyethylene food wraps which are airtight. Do not allow fresh, unfrozen food to touch the food which is already frozen to avoid raising their temperature. Iced products, if consumed immediately after removal from the freezer compartment, may cause frost burns to the skin. We recommend labelling and dating each frozen package. To obtain ice cubes faster, we recommend placing the ice cube trays in the top drawer. Thawing food Before eating, frozen or deep frozen food may be thawed in the refrigerator compartment or at ambient temperature, depending on the time available. Some food may also be cooked directly when taken out of the freezer, while it is still frozen. In this case, cooking will take longer. Important In the event of accidental thawing, caused for example by a power break, quickly eat the thawed food. Never refreeze thawed food. Hints for the storage of frozen food To guarantee optimum performance, comply with the following instructions: Ensure that frozen food has been stored correctly by the food retailer. Ensure that frozen food is quickly carried from the retailer to your freezer. Do not open the door too often or avoid leaving the door open longer than necessary. Once thawed, food will deteriorate rapidly and should never be refrozen. Do not exceed the storage states shown on the food. 40Warning! Always unplug your appliance before any maintenance work. Never pull on the power cord, but only on the plug itself. Cleaning For hygiene reasons, regularly clean the appliance (sidewalls and interior and exterior accessories). Important! Ethereal oils and organic solvents can damage plastic parts, e.g. lemon juice, butyric acid or acetic acid. o Do not allow such substances to come into contact with appliance parts. o Do not use any abrasive cleansers. o Remove food from the appliance. Store it in a cool place and keep well covered. o Clean the appliance and the interior accessories with a cloth and lukewarm water with a diluted white vinegar or bicarbonate of soda solution. o After cleaning them, rinse surfaces with clear water and dry them. o After everything is dry, plug the appliance back into the plug. Never clean the appliance with a steam cleaner. Cleaning the drain To stop the defrost water from running into the refrigerator, clean the drain at the back of the refrigerator part from time to time. To do this, use a cleaning product as shown in the diagram on the right. Replacing the light This product contains a light source whose the energy efficiency class is G.
