FOOD CARE ZONE 0°C/SAFE DEFROST*

A compartment designed to keep delicate food such as meat and sh fresh. The low temperature in the compartment makes it possible to store the food for up to one week - tests performed on meat products - without changing its nutrients, appearance and avour.The compartment is also very suitable for healthy food defrosting, as low-temperature defrosting prevents any proliferation of microorganisms, while protecting its taste and organoleptic properties.It is not suitable for fruit, vegetables and green salad. But it can be used for stued fresh pasta and even cooked food or leftovers.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLE BIN*

The salad crispers tted inside the fridge have been specially designed for the purpose of keeping fruit and vegetables fresh and crisp. Open the humidity regulator (position B) if you want to store food in a less humid environment like fruit, or close it (position A) to store food in a more humid environment like vegetable.

SHELVES* Due to the special guides the shelves are removable and the height is adjustable, allowing easy storage of large containers and food. ALARM TABLE

Always use closed containers for liquids and for food that may give o or be tainted by odor or avor transfer or cover them. 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 is the coolest area of the compartment. Foods which give o 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 together with kiwi fruits or cabbage. To avoid bottles falling over, you can use the bottle holder (available on selected models). Do not store food too close together to enable sucient air circulation. FREEZER COMPARTMENT The freezer is the ideal storage location for store frozen food, make ice cubes and freeze fresh food in the freezer compartment. The maximum number of kilograms of fresh food that can be frozen within a 24-hour period is indicated on the rating plate (…kg/24h). If you have a little quantity of food to store in the freezer, we recommend to use the coldest areas of your freezer compartment, corresponding to the middle area.
