TIPS FOR USE

• We do not recommend putting hot food or fluids that are still evaporating inside the refrigerator. It will increase the humidity inside the refrigerator.
• Food intended for refrigerating should be wrapped or covered. It is recommended to use plastic bags, kitchen foil or food paper to wrap food. Liquids should be stored in closed containers or bottles.
• It is also not recommended to put beverages in glass bottles in the freezer, glass can easily rupture due to low temperatures inside the freezer.
• Each time you open the appliance door, a warm air gets inside. That creates an under pressure inside the appliance. It may take a few moments before the pressure gets equalised and it will be possible to open the door easily.

Please follow the instructions below to avoid degrading of stored food.

- Do not open the refrigerator door for longer than necessary, as the supply of warm air significantly increases the temperature inside the appliance.

- Clean surfaces that may be in contact with food and drainage channels regularly.

- Fresh meat and fish should be stored in a suitable place to avoid contact with other foods.

Other safety precautions:

• Do not use too deep, narrow or soft containers and do not place the container near the ice dispenser outlet to prevent ice cubes from bouncing onto the ground;
• Maintain the correct distance between the container and the ice dispenser outlet; if the container is too close to the ice dispenser outlet, it may prevent ice from falling out. After filling the container, first release the ice dispensing lever to prevent ice cubes from spilling on the ground.
• When taking ice or water, leave the container under the ice dispenser outlet for 2 to 3 seconds after releasing the ice dispensing lever, as ice may still fall or water may leak at that time. Only remove the container after making sure that no ice or water is coming out.
• If you use only the crushed ice function, the ice outlet may be clogged with crushed ice; If you select "Ice cubes" just after selecting "Crushed ice", a bit of crushed ice may appear in the ice cubes.
• If the appliance is turned off for a long time, the ice in the container can melt and the water thus formed can then leak into the freezing compartment. In that case, remove the freezer box and dispose of ice, wipe the water out of the freezer box and the freezer compartment.

INSTALLING THE ICE MAKER

• We recommend that you remove the ice container, clean it, and reinstall it when first used or when not in use for a long time.
- Turn off the refrigerator before removing the ice container
• To remove the ice container, grasp it firmly with both hands, lift it slightly, and then pull it out.

Place the fresh red meat on a plate and cover it loosely with wax paper, plastic packaging or foil.

Store cooked and raw meat on separate plates. This will prevent contamination of the cooked product with the juices from the raw meat.

Poultry

Fresh whole poultry should be rinsed inside and out with cold running water, dried and placed on a plate. Cover it loosely with plastic packaging or foil.

Poultry cuts should also be stored in this way. Whole poultry should never be stuffed before cooking, otherwise there is a risk of food poisoning.

Fish and seafood

Whole fish and fillets should be processed on the day of purchase. It is not required to refrigerate the additional purchase on a plate loosely covered with plastic, waxed paper or foil.

If you plan to store fish overnight or longer, take special care to select very fresh fish.

Whole fish should be rinsed with cold water to remove loose scales and debris and then dried with paper towels. Place whole fish or fillets in a sealed plastic bag.

Always keep shellfish in a cool place. Consume it within 1-2 days.

Pre-cooked foods and leftovers

These should be stored in suitable containers with covers in order to prevent the food from drying out. Store for 1-2 days only. Reheat leftovers only once and only until steam begins to rise from the food.

Vegetable drawer

The vegetable drawer is the optimal place to store fresh fruits and vegetables.

Be careful not to store these fruits at temperatures below 6 °C for long periods of time: Citrus fruits, melons, pineapple, papayas, passion fruit, cucumber, peppers, tomatoes.

Undesirable changes occur at low temperatures, such as flesh softening, browning or accelerated decay.

Do not refrigerate avocados (until ripe), bananas and mangoes.
